I'm caring for my father, who's 85. After a diagnosis of dementia Usman can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Usman 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.
Usman worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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 $150 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
With deep gratitude,
Haris

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Usman!
Hospital bed and mattress rental is $40 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
Good luck. Hope you get there. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 21 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thanks for sharing this, Haris. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Rawalpindi.
