Dignity in old age: caring for Mim
Help Mim stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇧🇩 Jessore, Khulna, Bangladesh1,096 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a stroke last March Mim can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mim desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Mim worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $380
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $20
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
