I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a fall and hip fracture 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 25 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 farmer, and raised 4 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 $3,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,350
• Medication and prescriptions: $270
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $140
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $240
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Sami. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
how is Sami doing now?
rooting for you, Sami. Hope you get there. God bless.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Port Harcourt
