I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After a stroke last May Njeri can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Njeri desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Njeri 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 three 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 $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $450
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $15
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope you get there. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Tokyo
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Gold Coast donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Kinondoni.
