Care for Beatrice, 89: help cover a carer and medication in Nairobi

Help Beatrice stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After a stroke last July Beatrice can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Beatrice 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. Beatrice worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $550 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $410 • Medication and prescriptions: $70 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $25 I hope life is good to you. - Faith
