I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After a diagnosis of dementia Yusuf can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yusuf 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.
Yusuf worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $250 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Medication and prescriptions: $130
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
I hope life is good to you.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Giza.
Thank you. If you're in Giza I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Sending strength, Bilal. Shared it with a few friends. After 14 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Sent it to 10 people at work.
hope things get better soon, Bilal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
