Care for Noam, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Jerusalem
Help Noam stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇮🇱 Israel4,760 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a heart attack Noam can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Noam 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.
Noam worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,250
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $330
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $170
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Noam?
Thank you. If you're in Jerusalem I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 28 people at work.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up. Love from Zanzibar City
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Noam.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (eight months) is the biggest at $3,250. Let me know if you want more detail.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Makati so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Sending strength, Avraham. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending strength, Avraham. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
rooting for you. Wishing Noam a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Dwarka so I could bring a meal. Love from Jalandhar.
