Dignity in old age: caring for Adel
Help Adel stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇪🇬 Giza, Egypt1,714 views
I'm caring for me, who's 96. After a fall and hip fracture Adel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adel desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Adel worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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 $200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $20
With deep gratitude,
Adel

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Mar del Plata.
