Care for Wafa, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Medina
Help Wafa stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 74. After worsening Parkinson's disease Wafa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wafa 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.
Wafa worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 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 $3,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,750
• Medication and prescriptions: $460
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $240
Every share and every dollar helps.
