Chiamaka can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for me, who's 79. After a heart attack Chiamaka can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chiamaka desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Chiamaka worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $650 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
• Part-time carer (six months): $470
• Medication and prescriptions: $135
If you're reading this, thank you.
