Care for Umar, 83: help cover a carer and medication in Lahore
Help Umar stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan769 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After the death of his spouse Umar can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Umar desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Umar worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 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 $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $410
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Rooting for you, Junaid. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Umar
Sure. The biggest one is part-time carer (six months), $410. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thinking of you and your family, Junaid. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning. Greetings from San Diego
Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours!
Hope it all works out, Junaid. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
