I'm caring for me, who's 87. After the death of his spouse Alp can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Alp 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. Alp worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $400 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $135 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $160 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $105 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • Hang in there, Alp. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Port Harcourt this morning

    • Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Ciudad de México.

      • Best of luck, Alp. Hope this works out for you. Love from Kingston.

        • You're not alone, Alp. Wishing Alp a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
