Dignity in old age: caring for Nusrat
Nusrat can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $800.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a heart attack Nusrat can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nusrat 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.
Nusrat worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $610
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. After 16 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Sending love, Maliha. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best.
