I'm caring for my mother, who's 87. After a diagnosis of dementia 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 25 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 factory worker, and raised 2 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 $900 goes:
โข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
โข Medication and prescriptions: $145
โข Part-time carer (four months): $720
Thank you so much.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Efe?
Thank you. If you're in Gwagwalada I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Good luck, Kehinde. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Nakuru donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Nakuru.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Efe
Hospital bed and mattress rental is $35 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Hope it all works out, Kehinde. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted.
good luck, Kehinde. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Novosibirsk
Praying for you, Kehinde. I hope things turn around soon.
Thanks for sharing this, Kehinde. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Hope things get better soon, Kehinde. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Warsaw this morning. Greetings from Warsaw.
