Hira wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Hira stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇵🇰 Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan1,722 views
I'm caring for me, who's 92. After a fall and hip fracture Hira can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hira desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Hira worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $680
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Faisalabad

Sending strength, Hira. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Wishing you the best, Hira. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours.
