I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Qasim can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Qasim 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.
Qasim worked all of his life as a nurse, 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 $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $340
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $20
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone, Talha. This could happen to any of us.
take care. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
hope things get better soon, Talha. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Feira de Santana.
