Ghassan can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $1,050.

I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After worsening Parkinson's disease Ghassan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ghassan desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Ghassan worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $940
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
