Care for Sami, 88: help cover a carer and medication in Mohammedia
Sami, 88, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $800 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After worsening Parkinson's disease Sami can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sami 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.
Sami worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $590
• Medication and prescriptions: $145
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
