Osama wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Osama stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom920 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After worsening Parkinson's disease Osama can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Osama 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.
Osama worked all of his life as a bus driver, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $5,100 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $260
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,300
• Medication and prescriptions: $540
I hope life is good to you.

Keep going, Qasim. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Rooting for you, Qasim. Shared this with my family. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Newport but we're thinking of you
Keep going, Qasim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Birmingham.
Stay strong, Qasim. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up.
Sending good thoughts, Qasim. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Brasília.
