Care for Yinka, 83: help cover a carer and medication in Lagos

I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a heart attack Yinka can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yinka desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Yinka worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $550 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 • Part-time carer (four months): $430 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Sade
