Ikeja
I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a diagnosis of dementia 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 25 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 factory worker, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $600 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (three months): $410 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $105 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
