Home care fund for Zahra in Cairo
Help Zahra stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, EgyptPosted May 19, 20261,005 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a stroke last April Zahra can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zahra desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Zahra worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $250 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
