Care for Kehinde, 84: help cover a carer and medication in Nnewi
Kehinde can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last July; we're asking for $750.
🇳🇬 Nnewi, Anambra, Nigeria1,416 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a stroke last July 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 25 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 shopkeeper, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $500
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
Thank you so much.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Faisalabad this morning. Greetings from Faisalabad.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
