Care for Efe, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Badagry
Efe, 74, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $500 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After the death of her spouse Efe can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Efe 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.
Efe worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $500 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Part-time carer (eight months): $310
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
