Alexandria
I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture Salim can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Salim 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. Salim worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $800 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Medication and prescriptions: $60 • Part-time carer (eight months): $695 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Marwan
