Thika

I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After a heart attack Nafula can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nafula 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. Nafula worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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 $650 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $60 • Part-time carer (six months): $520 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($106). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($152 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Berlin.

Keep going, Halima. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
