Care for Zakaria, 86: help cover a carer and medication in Medina

Zakaria can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $900.

Medina
I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After the death of his spouse Zakaria can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zakaria desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Zakaria worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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 $900 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $410 • Medication and prescriptions: $330 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $160 Thank you for reading my story.
