Home care fund for Anwar in Mansoura
Help Anwar stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇪🇬 Mansoura, Dakahlia, Egypt382 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Anwar can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anwar 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.
Anwar worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $200 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Hamza
Good news. Because of your gifts ($179 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending love. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Columbus but we're thinking of you. Love from Columbus.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Howrah.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Anwar?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about hospital bed and mattress rental, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Mansoura.
Hang in there, Hamza. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Mansoura
Take care, Hamza. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
