Abosede wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Abosede stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Nigeria751 views
I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a stroke last September Abosede can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Abosede desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Abosede worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $500
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.
