I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia 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 50 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 factory worker, 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 $550 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (eight months): $330 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $110 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 With deep gratitude, Rubina

Updates from Rubina

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 66% funded and I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 48% funded and the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($188). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental.
