Bilal wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care

Bilal, 90, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $650 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After the death of his spouse Bilal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bilal desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Bilal worked all of his 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 six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $650 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 • Part-time carer (six months): $460 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Saima

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
