Dignity in old age: caring for Halima
Help Halima stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria1,204 views
I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Halima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Halima desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Halima worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $600 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Part-time carer (six months): $470
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30
With deep gratitude,
Halima

You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal.
Good luck, Halima. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
You're not alone, Halima. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 3 people at work. Blessings
Thinking of you, Halima. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Surakarta.
Rooting for you, Halima. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Nha Trang this morning.
Sending strength, Halima. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Badagry
Sending love, Halima. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't give up.
