I'm caring for me, who's 74. After a stroke last April Ziad can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ziad 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. Ziad worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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 $3,700 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $2,950 • Medication and prescriptions: $420 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $165 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165 I hope life is good to you. - Ziad

  2. Quick update: $1,230 raised so far (33%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. We're at 11% thanks to 12 of you. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

        Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Chiang Mai so I could bring a meal. God bless.
