Faisal, 92, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $650 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for me, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia 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 schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $650 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230
• Medication and prescriptions: $220
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200
Thank you for reading my story.
