I'm caring for me, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Hassan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hassan 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.
Hassan worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $4,200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $420
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,450
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $330
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thank you all. We're at 44% now ($1,868). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions.

sending good thoughts. Wishing Hassan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 7 people at work. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Hassan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Guarulhos
