Medical help for Sis. Stephanie and her parents

COVID-19 has struck the family of our dear friend Stephanie Saleh. Stephanie has been a committed mother to two sons, an awesome "glamma" to her grandson and a loving daughter to her parents. She has helped others when in need and now she needs our help. She likes to manage things on her own and would hesitate to ask for help, so we, as her friends and sisters, are asking for everyone to pitch in to help potentially save her life and the lives of her parents.

Stephanie has been managing her own chronic health issues (loss of much of her eyesight, diabetes, dialysis, congestive heart failure) while caring for her aging, disabled parents. Her mom has Parkinson's disease and is paralyzed, and her dad has limited mobility due to congestive heart failure.

As if this was not difficult enough, now Stephanie and her dad have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and are currently hospitalized. They are isolated from one another and understandably, scared and overwhelmed. They will be moved to separate rehabilitation centers as soon as it is medically safe to do so. Her mother will be moved to an assisted living facility that can manage her paralysis. Stephanie is trying to get well herself while also coordinating care for herself and her parents. It's so stressful on her and is not conducive to recovering from this virus.

Stephanie has been struggling to make ends meet since being out of work due to disability for several years. Her mother's insurance does not cover the cost of the $5,000 per month assisted living stay. The family also needs funds for immediate and ongoing out-of-pocket costs that are not covered. Their needs are urgent. We are asking for your help in raising funds for 4-6 months of rehab and assisted living care and other expenses so that this family can recover. No amount is too small. We also ask that you pray for her by name and for her parents. Thank you and God bless for helping!

Sincerely,

Farah, Bathsheba and Sabirah
