Nahid can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $700.

I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After the death of his spouse Nahid can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nahid desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Nahid 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 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): $530
• Medication and prescriptions: $40
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
Every share and every dollar helps.
