Care for Otieno, 81: help cover a carer and medication in Mwanza
Help Otieno stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a fall and hip fracture Otieno can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Otieno 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.
Otieno worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $650 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $540
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
Thank you for reading my story.
