Embakasi
I'm caring for me, who's 77. After worsening Parkinson's disease Onyango can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Onyango 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. Onyango worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $1,050 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $90 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75 • Part-time carer (eight months): $885 With deep gratitude, Onyango

  • Sending good thoughts, Onyango. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update

    • You're not alone, Onyango. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

      • shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Thika
