Care for Jamal, 77: help cover a carer and medication in Aswan
Jamal can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $950.
🇪🇬 Aswan, Aswan, Egypt1,457 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After the death of his spouse Jamal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jamal 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.
Jamal worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $700
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. All the best
