Care for Sade, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Kano
Sade can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $500.

I'm caring for me, who's 74. After a heart attack Sade can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sade 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.
Sade worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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:
• Medication and prescriptions: $50
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Part-time carer (three months): $390
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Paris
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Peoria so I could bring a meal
Sending love, Sade. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Hanoi.
