Home care fund for Qasim in Dammam
Qasim can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last February; we're asking for $2,550.
🇸🇦 Dammam, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia728 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a stroke last February Qasim can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Qasim desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Qasim worked all of his 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 four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $500
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280
I hope life is good to you.
