Dignity in old age: caring for Danish
Help Danish stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇵🇰 Punjab, Pakistan1,705 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a heart attack Danish can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Danish 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.
Danish worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $550
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65

So sorry you're going through this, Mehwish. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings!
how is Danish doing now?
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted!
Hope this works out for you. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Sending strength, Mehwish. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
