Dignity in old age: caring for Tanvir

I'm caring for me, who's 88. After a diagnosis of dementia Tanvir can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tanvir desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Tanvir worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 2 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: • Medication and prescriptions: $65 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Part-time carer (three months): $455 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Tanvir
