Hi Sandra, the first options that come to mind are home delivery via an on line store . Some examples being Ebay or Amazon,

Not sure on delivery times to your location and hopefully other members can offer further help and alternative suggestions for you to consider.

Good luck .

If you come across IT outlets, (locally) you may be able to obtain one, or order.

There is nothing special about a charger for a Samsung phone. 

All you need is a cable which plugs into the phone, probably micro USB or USB-C And standard USB the otbdr end, you can then plug that into any USB port such as a charger for something else or a laptop or a PC.

This post that was quoted has been deleted.

No they don’t, Some Samsung/android now use the newer USB-C type connector.

If the OP has the charging lead then most TV’s / Computers / Laptops have a USB port supporting a +5v USB output that you can use to charge your phone.

Someone will have a charger locally, if not then PM me and I will mail you one from home if your cannot source one locally.

Anything which has a USB port will do the job, even a Smart TV or on an IPTV box if you have one. 

One more thought, many internet routers havea USB port.

Beware of buying chargers from the internet, the news has reported on many occasions that some chargers have exploded causing serious damage and or fires because they were fakes.

Always buy from reputable sources.

Never leave a charger plugged in when you go out or overnight, better to be safe than sorry.

The advice about buying cheapo Chinese junk is valid but as for charging overnight with an original or branded charger, or laptop/PC etc. there should be no problem at all. 

Here at Casa Movingon few nights will have have passed in the last 10 years or so when something or other hadn't been on charge overnight and in more recent times it's likely to be up to half a dozen devices.
