Chinedu can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $550.

I'm caring for me, who's 81. After a fall and hip fracture Chinedu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chinedu 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.
Chinedu worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $330
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
