I'm caring for me, who's 84. After a stroke last August Hatem can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hatem 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. Hatem worked all of his life as a bus driver, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $550 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $310 • Medication and prescriptions: $60 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Hatem

Updates from Hatem

Quick update: $285 raised so far (52%). I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($125). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental.
