Home care fund for Ruma in Narayanganj
Ruma cannot afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we are asking for $600.
🇧🇩 Bangladesh1,890 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Ruma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ruma 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.
Ruma worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $480
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
Thank you so much.

Keep going, Dipu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Narayanganj.
Get well soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Los Angeles.
Take care, Dipu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Belfast so I could bring a meal.
sending strength, Dipu. It takes guts to ask. Well done.

Thinking of you and your family, Dipu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Cape Town.
