I'm caring for me, who's 86. After a heart attack Yusuf can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yusuf desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Yusuf worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $950 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $550 • Medication and prescriptions: $150 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $160 Thank you for reading my story.

            Thanks for sharing this, Yusuf. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
