Dignity in old age: caring for Adewale
Help Adewale stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,478 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After a diagnosis of dementia Adewale can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adewale 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.
Adewale worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $590
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40

good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Amsterdam but we're thinking of you. God bless.
