Home care fund for Ines in Mecca
Help Ines stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇸🇦 Makkah, Saudi Arabia2,136 views
I'm caring for me, who's 94. After worsening Parkinson's disease Ines can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ines 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.
Ines worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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 $2,700 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,300
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $170
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
