Care for Bilal, 89: help cover a carer and medication in Lahore
Bilal can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $700.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan623 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After a heart attack 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 schoolteacher, and raised 5 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 $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $480
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Tariq
Good news. Because of your gifts ($234 in total) I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
