Home care fund for Rabia in Quetta
Rabia can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $700.
🇵🇰 Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistan1,973 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After the death of her spouse Rabia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rabia desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Rabia worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $540
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $25
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this, Zain. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Stay strong, Zain. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to San Francisco so I could bring a meal. All the best
take care. Wishing Rabia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Saint Petersburg this morning. Thinking of Quetta
