Care for Awino, 94: help cover a carer and medication in Kampala
Awino can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $350.
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda1,080 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a heart attack Awino can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Awino 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.
Awino worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $350 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
• Part-time carer (eight months): $260
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength. Wishing Awino a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Kampala
So sorry you're going through this, Samuel. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
Sending love, Samuel. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 28 people at work. God bless
You're not alone, Samuel. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
