Dignity in old age: caring for Omar
Help Omar stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇧🇩 Narayanganj, Dhaka, Bangladesh606 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 85. After a heart attack Omar can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Omar desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Omar worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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 $400 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $310
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
Thanks for reading all this.
