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, Pakistan1,723 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.

Wishing you the best, Hira. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours.
