Nargis wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Nargis stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 95. After a fall and hip fracture Nargis can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nargis 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.
Nargis worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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 $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $670
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Gazipur
rooting for you, Nargis. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Rooting for you, Nargis. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Nargis?
Thank you. If you're in Gazipur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Thinking of you, Nargis. Wishing Nargis a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Lagos!

So sorry you're going through this, Nargis. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side!
Hope it all works out, Nargis. I hope things turn around soon. After 16 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Zapopan.
