Yasir, 78, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,000 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Yasir can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yasir 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.
Yasir worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $770
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 11 people at work. God bless.
