Care for Rita, 77: help cover a carer and medication in Cape Coast
Help Rita stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇬🇭 Cape Coast, Central, Ghana1,370 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Rita can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rita desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Rita worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $600
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

praying for you, Victoria. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in A Coruña but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Fresno this morning. Thinking of Cape Coast
Sending good thoughts, Victoria. Get well soon. Don't give up.
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Poznań.
