Karachi
I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After the death of her spouse Nazia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nazia desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Nazia worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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 $400 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $280 • Medication and prescriptions: $35 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 Every share and every dollar helps. - Javeria
