Muthoni can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $350.

I'm caring for me, who's 91. After a diagnosis of dementia Muthoni can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Muthoni desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Muthoni worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $350 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Part-time carer (eight months): $260
I hope life is good to you.
