I'm caring for me, who's 77. After a heart attack Musa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Musa 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.
Musa worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $580
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
I hope life is good to you.
- Musa
