Care for Mussa, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Nairobi
Mussa cannot afford the care He needs after a stroke last August; we are asking for $600.

I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a stroke last August Mussa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mussa desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Mussa worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $600 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
• Part-time carer (six months): $410
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85
With deep gratitude,
Imani
Updates from Imani
Small update. $40 so far, I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($30). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward part-time carer.
We're at 3% thanks to 2 of you. I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. More news soon.
