I'm caring for me, who's 92. After worsening Parkinson's disease Zeeshan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zeeshan 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.
Zeeshan worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $520
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $25
Thank you for reading my story.
