Badagry

I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a heart attack Bola can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bola 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. Bola worked all of her 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 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 $600 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $350 • Medication and prescriptions: $110 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 With deep gratitude, Folake

Good news. Because of your gifts ($228 in total) the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
