Care for Wafa, 84: help cover a carer and medication in Heliopolis
Help Wafa stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇪🇬 Egypt845 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a heart attack Wafa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wafa desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Wafa worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $690
• Medication and prescriptions: $50
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Noor. Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
You're not alone, Noor. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Stay strong, Noor. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Dhaka.
Sending good thoughts, Noor. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Best of luck, Noor. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Mississauga.
best of luck, Noor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Rockford
hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Mysuru.
Thanks for sharing this, Noor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Take care, Noor. Looking forward to the next update
Best of luck, Noor. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Bornova.
