Dignity in old age: caring for Emeka
Emeka can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $200.

I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After worsening Parkinson's disease Emeka can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Emeka 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.
Emeka worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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 $200 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
