I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After the death of his spouse Godwin can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Godwin desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Godwin worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $250 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Godwin.
looking forward to the next update. Love from Joliet
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
praying for you, Oluwaseun. Hope the doctors have good news. After 29 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care!
Best of luck, Oluwaseun. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Epe
Stay strong, Oluwaseun. Hope you get there
Sending strength, Oluwaseun. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Obuasi this morning. Take care.
Sending love, Oluwaseun. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
Good luck, Oluwaseun. Get well soon. Take care!
Hang in there, Oluwaseun. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours.
