Care for Ifeanyi, 83: help cover a carer and medication in Lagos

Help Ifeanyi stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a heart attack 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 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 $550 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $450 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 • Medication and prescriptions: $60 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    Wishing Ifeanyi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

          Thanks for sharing this, Jide. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

            Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
