Amani wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Amani stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a heart attack Amani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Amani desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Amani worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $600
• Medication and prescriptions: $130
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Thank you so much.

Updates from Githinji
Update from Kikuyu: I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($41 in total) I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Kikuyu: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 2% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
