Care for Rima, 91: help cover a carer and medication in Cairo
Rima, 91, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $800 for a carer and medicines.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt1,777 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After a stroke last August Rima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rima desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Rima worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $690
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
• Medication and prescriptions: $25
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Santa Fe.
Sending strength, Ghada. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Birmingham!
Good luck, Ghada. Hope you get there. God bless.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Rohini donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Cairo
