Is there anything that isn't money that would help Folake?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about mobility aids and bathroom adaptations, advice is welcome too. Good question.
have you tried the local city council office? They sometimes help with part of this
Thinking of you. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Best of luck, Festus. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
