Dignity in old age: caring for Jamal
Help Jamal stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇲🇦 Salé, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra, Morocco824 views
I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a stroke last April Jamal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jamal desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Jamal worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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 $300 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Medication and prescriptions: $175

Take care, Jamal. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
