Abuja
I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a fall and hip fracture Wunmi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wunmi 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. Wunmi worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $450 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (three months): $250 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $95 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 With deep gratitude, Chiamaka

    Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.

    • Is part-time carer (three months) the biggest cost or is there more coming?

      • Chiamaka BelloOwnerAnswer

        Part-time carer (three months) is $250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

    • thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Abuja.

      • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Wunmi?

        • Chiamaka BelloOwnerAnswer

          Thank you. If you're in Abuja I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

      • Rooting for you, Chiamaka. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Toronto so I could bring a meal.

        • who gets the funds, you or the care agency?

          • Chiamaka BelloOwnerAnswer

            I get the payout and then pay the care agency. Every payment goes in the updates. Ask me anything else.

        • Best of luck, Chiamaka. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Bogor donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

          • Any update on how things are going in Abuja?

            • Shared it with a few friends. Blessings

              • Take care. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Nairobi.

                • Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings

                  • Wishing you the best, Chiamaka. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
