Hamza wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Hamza can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $700.

I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After worsening Parkinson's disease Hamza can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hamza 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.
Hamza worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $700 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Part-time carer (four months): $600
• Medication and prescriptions: $45
Thank you so much.

Sending strength, Faisal. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Iztapalapa so I could bring a meal. Love from The Hague.

Wishing you peace, Faisal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Ikeja.
