I'm caring for me, who's 87. After the death of his spouse Nazrul can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nazrul 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.
Nazrul worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $280
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Nazrul. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Wishing you the best, Nazrul. Your post was clear and honest
Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Tiruchirappalli.
gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Lahore
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Kawasaki donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
rooting for you, Nazrul. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
