Danjuma wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Danjuma stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria1,281 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After a fall and hip fracture Danjuma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Danjuma desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Danjuma 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 eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $550 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Part-time carer (eight months): $400
• Medication and prescriptions: $110

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Danjuma
Good luck. Hope you get there. Sent it to 29 people at work.
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Stay strong, Uche. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Quetta.
sending love, Uche. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
