Kamrul, 87, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $500 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 87. 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 30 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 factory worker, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $350
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
