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.

  1. 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.
