I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Nasser can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nasser 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.
Nasser worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $470
• Medication and prescriptions: $450
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
With deep gratitude,
Mahmoud

so sorry you're going through this, Mahmoud. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Mahmoud. This could happen to any of us. Take care!
