Dignity in old age: caring for Jumoke
Jumoke can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $800.

I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a fall and hip fracture Jumoke can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jumoke desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Jumoke worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $630
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
With deep gratitude,
Jumoke

Sending love, Jumoke. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
