Care for Obinna, 93: help cover a carer and medication in Port Harcourt
Help Obinna stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Nigeria474 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After a fall and hip fracture Obinna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Obinna desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Obinna worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $150 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Daniel
Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $80 so far, I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions.

Sending strength, Daniel. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Port Harcourt!
hope things get better soon, Daniel. Get well soon.
Thanks for sharing this, Daniel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
