Care for Anyango, 82: help cover a carer and medication in Likoni
Help Anyango stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world2,710 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture Anyango can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Anyango desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Anyango worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $640
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 22 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Southampton.
Keep going, Kevin. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. All the best.
You're not alone, Kevin. Hope you get there
thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
hope it all works out, Kevin. Hope you get there.
Take care, Kevin. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
