I'm caring for me, who's 93. After a fall and hip fracture Walid can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Walid desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Walid 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 six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,950 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $330
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,390
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Walid
Thank you all. We're at 19% now ($768). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward part-time carer.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 10% funded and the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Takoradi donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there, Walid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
So sorry you're going through this, Walid. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
Hang in there, Walid. Shared this with my family. Love from Alicante.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Muzaffarpur.
