Bakari wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Bakari stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 89. After a diagnosis of dementia Bakari can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bakari desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Bakari worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $360
• Medication and prescriptions: $50
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $145
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
