Home care fund for Saima in Abbottabad
Help Saima stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇵🇰 Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan1,144 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After the death of her spouse Saima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Saima desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Saima worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $450
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

hope things get better soon. Wishing Saima a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. Take care!
You're not alone, Tayyaba. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Keep going, Tayyaba. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Pune.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Abbottabad
thanks for sharing this, Tayyaba. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Chicago this morning
