Ibadan

I'm caring for me, who's 79. After a diagnosis of dementia Ifeanyi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ifeanyi 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. Ifeanyi worked all of his life as a farmer, 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 $150 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Medication and prescriptions: $55 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Ifeanyi

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ifeanyi

  Sure. The biggest one is mobility aids and bathroom adaptations, $35. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
