Fitri, 85, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $550 for a carer and medicines.
Updates from Fitri
33% there. I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Thank you.
Quick update: $119 raised so far (22%). the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled.

Thinking of you, Fitri. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 24 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Kediri.
You're not alone, Fitri. Your post was clear and honest.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Udaipur.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Onitsha.
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Thinking of you. Wishing Fitri a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Cairo so I could bring a meal.
