Care for Esther, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Abuja
Esther, 74, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $750 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for me, who's 74. After the death of her spouse Esther can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Esther 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.
Esther worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $570
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
With deep gratitude,
Esther
