Dignity in old age: caring for Aya

Help Aya stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After the death of her spouse Aya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aya 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. Aya worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 3 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 $4,350 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210 • Medication and prescriptions: $590 • Part-time carer (eight months): $3,550 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Djeneba
