Care for Hanna, 91: help cover a carer and medication in Hawassa
Help Hanna stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After a fall and hip fracture Hanna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hanna desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Hanna worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $400 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $230
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
With deep gratitude,
Sara

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Hawassa.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Hawassa
Thank you. If you're in Hawassa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Thinking of you, Sara. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
stay strong. Get well soon. All the best.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
wishing Hanna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Nairobi.
