I'm caring for me, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Hassan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hassan desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Hassan 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 three 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 $600 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 • Part-time carer (three months): $485 I hope life is good to you. - Hassan

  2. Update from Rawalpindi: I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations. We're at 38% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. We're at 31% thanks to 3 of you. we've started the first stage. More news soon.
