Rizwan can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last April; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for me, who's 88. After a stroke last April Rizwan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rizwan 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.
Rizwan worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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 $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $550
• Medication and prescriptions: $45
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $20
With deep gratitude,
Rizwan
