Shazia wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Shazia can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $700.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Shazia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shazia 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.
Shazia worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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 $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $530
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $10
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Nimra. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Mumbai.
Hope it all works out, Nimra. I hope things turn around soon.
Stay strong, Nimra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Faisalabad
