I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a heart attack Karim can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Karim 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.
Karim worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $610
• Medication and prescriptions: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone, Karim. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Davao City
Sending love, Karim. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Zagazig.
sending love, Karim. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
