Care for Rebecca, 93: help cover a carer and medication in Accra
Rebecca, 93, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $500 for a carer and medicines.
🇬🇭 Greater Accra, Ghana514 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After a diagnosis of dementia Rebecca can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rebecca desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Rebecca worked all of her 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $500 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
• Part-time carer (three months): $410
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
