Dignity in old age: caring for Qiang

Help Qiang stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a heart attack Qiang can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Qiang desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Qiang worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $3,350 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,500 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $490 With deep gratitude, Ai

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Qiang?
