Damilola wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Damilola stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Ogbomosho, Oyo, Nigeria500 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After a stroke last January Damilola can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Damilola desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Damilola worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $330
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Blessing. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.

Thinking of you and your family, Blessing. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
