Care for Peace, 80: help cover a carer and medication in Ibadan
Peace, 80, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $450 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Peace can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Peace desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Peace worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $320
• Medication and prescriptions: $50
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
I hope life is good to you.

Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Ibadan
