Dignity in old age: caring for Rima
Help Rima stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇲🇦 Casablanca, Casablanca-Settat, Morocco1,261 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a stroke last April 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 bus driver, 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $540
• Medication and prescriptions: $180
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
