Care for Dayo, 91: help cover a carer and medication in Badagry
Help Dayo stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria444 views
I'm caring for me, who's 91. After a heart attack Dayo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dayo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Dayo worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $390
• Medication and prescriptions: $125
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Dayo
Update from Badagry: I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
