Home care fund for Ahmed in Shubra
Ahmed can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $1,000.
🇪🇬 Shubra, Cairo, Egypt723 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Ahmed can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ahmed desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Ahmed worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $790
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
Thank you so much.

Updates from Amira
Wanted to say thank you properly. 13% funded and the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($140 in total) the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending love, Amira. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
Praying for you. Wishing Ahmed a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Hialeah but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Shubra.
Best of luck, Amira. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Springfield so I could bring a meal. Love from Malmö.
