Home care fund for Hussein in Shubra
Hussein cannot afford the care He needs after a stroke last September; we are asking for $1,000.

I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a stroke last September Hussein can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hussein 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.
Hussein worked all of his 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $770
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
Every share and every dollar helps.

You're not alone, Jamila. Hope you get there. After 15 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Shubra!
Praying for you, Jamila. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Swansea.
