I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a fall and hip fracture Babar can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Babar 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.
Babar worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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 $350 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
• Part-time carer (eight months): $240
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Babar?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about medication and prescriptions, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
Wishing you the best, Salman. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Cork.
Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 18 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Salman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from București.
