Waqas wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Waqas stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a stroke last June Waqas can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Waqas 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.
Waqas worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $500 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Part-time carer (four months): $360
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($83 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
