Care for James, 83: help cover a carer and medication in Kasarani
Help James stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a stroke last August James can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and James 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.
James worked all of his life as a carpenter, 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 $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $370
• Medication and prescriptions: $50
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
