Dignity in old age: caring for Hauwa
Hauwa can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $750.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,054 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a diagnosis of dementia Hauwa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hauwa 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.
Hauwa worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $570
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $20
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
