Selim wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care

Help Selim stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Selim can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Selim 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. Selim worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $450 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $140 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $135 • Medication and prescriptions: $175 Every share and every dollar helps. - Melek
