Dignity in old age: caring for Hasan
Hasan can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $450.
🇧🇩 Bangladesh719 views
I'm caring for me, who's 74. After worsening Parkinson's disease Hasan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hasan 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.
Hasan worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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 $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $370
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
how is Hasan doing now?
Take care, Hasan. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Konya donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Wishing you peace. Get well soon
take care, Hasan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hasan?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (eight months), advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Manchester.
Praying for you, Hasan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Quezon City.
Thinking of you, Hasan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thinking of you and your family, Hasan. Get well soon.
Hope things get better soon, Hasan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Thinking of you. Wishing Hasan a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Gold Coast.
