Care for Usman, 95: help cover a carer and medication in Gwagwalada
Help Usman stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,942 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After a heart attack Usman can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Usman desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Usman worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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): $250
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($179 in total) the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $54 raised so far (12%). the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
