Care for Onyango, 94: help cover a carer and medication in Embakasi

Onyango can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last July; we're asking for $800.

I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a stroke last July 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 25 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 nurse, 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 $800 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $650 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 • Medication and prescriptions: $115 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
