Home care fund for Huda in Cairo
Huda, 75, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $600 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Huda can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Huda desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Huda worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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 $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $430
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
If you're reading this, thank you.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($91 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Souad

Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Souad. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Sandton this morning. Blessings
