Care for Fadi, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Jeddah
Help Fadi stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇸🇦 Makkah, Saudi Arabia1,947 views
I'm caring for me, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Fadi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fadi desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Fadi worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,850
• Medication and prescriptions: $460
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $165
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $425
Every share and every dollar helps.
