I'm caring for me, who's 76. After the death of her spouse Yasmin can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yasmin desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Yasmin worked all of her 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 four 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 $3,200 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $2,400 • Medication and prescriptions: $200 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $350 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Yasmin

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Thane donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Dammam.

      Hang in there, Yasmin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Kingston this morning. All the best.
