Care for Salim, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Nakuru
Salim can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $800.
🇰🇪 Nakuru, Kenya280 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a heart attack Salim can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Salim desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Salim worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $600
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
Thank you for reading my story.
