Waqas can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After a fall and hip fracture Waqas can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Waqas 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.
Waqas worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $490
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
• Medication and prescriptions: $135
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Çankaya so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Chicago.
