Care for Imani, 75: help cover a carer and medication in Kampala
Imani can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $150.
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda459 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After the death of her spouse Imani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Imani desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Imani worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 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 $150 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $20
Every share and every dollar helps.
