Care for Musyoka, 78: help cover a carer and medication in Kinondoni
Help Musyoka stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 78. After worsening Parkinson's disease Musyoka can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Musyoka 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.
Musyoka worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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 $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $630
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
