My name is Zedekia Samara, and I am trying to raise funds for my father's (Emmanuel Martin Samara) medical expenses. My father, a retired teacher in Tanzania, was recently diagnosed with a condition that affects the spinal cord and limbs, a condition that needs surgical treatment. The family does not have enough money for the expenses, and we are kindly asking whoever can support us in his medical expenses.

My dad has always been a selfless soul who often times put other's success and problems before his own. Being the first born to an extended family that lost a father at a very tender age, he was a father figure to all the siblings (direct and indirect) for the majority of his childhood and adulthood. He always placed emphasis on education and made sure everyone around him was educated since he believed that's the only way he, and everyone around him can save themselves from the extreme poverty that they were born into.

Being retired, and with a condition that affects his movement, it is very hard to make ends meet, and this is our plea as a family for anyone to help us fund his treatment, and God will bless you abundantly. Thank you very much.
