Care for Duha, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Shubra
Duha can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $850.
🇪🇬 Shubra, Cairo, Egypt2,448 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Duha can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Duha desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Duha worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $710
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you the best, Ahmed. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in León donated after I showed her your page. All the best
praying for you. Wishing Duha a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Davao City so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Badagry!
