I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Faisal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Faisal 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.
Faisal worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $200 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Islamabad
Thank you. If you're in Islamabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update
