Dignity in old age: caring for Sabina
Sabina can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last March; we're asking for $700.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a stroke last March Sabina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sabina desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Sabina 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 $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $480
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sabina
Part-time carer (eight months) is $480 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Praying for you, Hridoy. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Athens.
So sorry you're going through this, Hridoy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Spokane donated after I showed her your page.
Wishing Sabina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Hồ Chí Minh City donated after I showed her your page.
Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
