Qasim can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $600.

I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After a fall and hip fracture Qasim can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Qasim 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.
Qasim 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 six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $430
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
With deep gratitude,

Hope things get better soon, Amna. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless!
