Dignity in old age: caring for Kato
Help Kato stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇰🇪 Nakuru, Nakuru, Kenya735 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 88. After a stroke last August Kato can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kato desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Kato worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $600
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
