Home care fund for Fatima in Zagazig
Help Fatima stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇪🇬 44101, Zagazig, Sharqia, Egypt1,791 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After worsening Parkinson's disease Fatima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fatima 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.
Fatima worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $900 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
• Part-time carer (six months): $690
• Medication and prescriptions: $135
Thank you so much.

You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Zagazig.
Keep going, Layla. Hope this works out for you.
Wishing you peace, Layla. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
