Care for Ngozi, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Port Harcourt
Help Ngozi stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,133 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a diagnosis of dementia Ngozi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ngozi 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.
Ngozi worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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 $450 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
• Part-time carer (eight months): $360
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
Thank you for reading my story.
