I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a heart attack Hussain can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hussain 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.
Hussain worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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 $350 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
• Part-time carer (three months): $230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Humaira. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 8 people at work.
Thanks for sharing this, Humaira. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
