Dignity in old age: caring for Sana
Sana can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $600.
🇵🇰 Pakistan1,407 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a heart attack Sana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sana 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.
Sana worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $450
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Thanks for being kind about this.

hang in there, Bushra. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Faisalabad
Hope things get better soon, Bushra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
