Humaira wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Humaira, 74, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $350 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Humaira can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Humaira 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.
Humaira worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $350 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $25
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Part-time carer (eight months): $295
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Qasim. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
