Care for Hala, 78: help cover a carer and medication in Medina
Hala can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $2,800.
🇸🇦 Medina, Madinah, Saudi Arabia2,230 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a heart attack Hala can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hala desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Hala worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $2,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,950
• Medication and prescriptions: $250
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $320
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
