Dignity in old age: caring for Abosede
Help Abosede stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Nigeria995 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Abosede can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Abosede desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Abosede worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $550
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
Thanks for reading all this.
