Care for Reem, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Jeddah
Reem can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $3,200.
🇸🇦 Jeddah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia2,642 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After the death of her spouse Reem can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Reem 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.
Reem worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $360
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
