Maryam wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Maryam cannot afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we are asking for $650.

I'm caring for me, who's 78. After the death of her spouse Maryam can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Maryam 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.
Maryam 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 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 $650 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $50
• Part-time carer (eight months): $530
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
With deep gratitude,
Maryam

Wishing you peace, Maryam. Hope you get there. All the best.
rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Lahore.
