Rajshahi

I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a fall and hip fracture Hossain can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hossain desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Hossain worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $600 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $400 • Medication and prescriptions: $85 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Tamanna

Quick update: $209 raised so far (35%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Small update. $139 so far, the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($89 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
