Home care fund for Hiba in Jeddah
Hiba can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $2,900.
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia2,299 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After worsening Parkinson's disease Hiba can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hiba desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Hiba worked all of her life as a nurse, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250
• Medication and prescriptions: $480
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,170
Thank you so much.
