I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a heart attack 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 25 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 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,600
• Medication and prescriptions: $970
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $180

I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Love from Nairobi.
Sending good thoughts, Salim. Hope this works out for you. Take care
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Québec
Thank you. If you're in Québec I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you the best, Salim. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this, Salim. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Salim. Hope this works out for you. God bless!
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Maringá.
