Home care fund for Souad in Riyadh
Souad can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $3,150.
🇸🇦 Riyadh, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia2,554 views
I'm caring for me, who's 75. After a heart attack Souad can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Souad desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Souad worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $3,150 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $500
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $170
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
Updates from Souad
Update from Riyadh: I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Good luck, Souad. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Thinking of you and your family, Souad. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Riyadh!
praying for you, Souad. Get well soon.
keep going, Souad. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
