Help Kamrul stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 84. After a fall and hip fracture Kamrul can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kamrul 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. Kamrul worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $850 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $660 • Medication and prescriptions: $65 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Kamrul

Updates from Kamrul

  1. Thank you all. We're at 82% now ($696). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  2. We're at 29% thanks to 9 of you. the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($171 in total) I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
