Byaruhanga wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Byaruhanga can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $850.

I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After a diagnosis of dementia Byaruhanga can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Byaruhanga desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Byaruhanga worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 (six months): $710
• Medication and prescriptions: $40
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Thank you so much.
