I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a heart attack 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 25 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 farmer, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $300
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, Haider. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Kampala but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Faisalabad
