Care for Kehinde, 80: help cover a carer and medication in Lagos
Kehinde, 80, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $600 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Kehinde can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kehinde 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.
Kehinde worked all of her 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $600 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
• Part-time carer (four months): $455
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
