Care for Fahad, 80: help cover a carer and medication in Islamabad
Help Fahad stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Fahad can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fahad desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Fahad 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 four 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 $450 goes:
ā¢ Part-time carer (four months): $250
ā¢ Medication and prescriptions: $65
ā¢ Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
ā¢ Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
Glad we found this place.
