Dignity in old age: caring for Lanre

I'm caring for me, who's 88. After a stroke last April Lanre can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lanre 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. Lanre worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $600 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $390 • Medication and prescriptions: $85 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 If you're reading this, thank you.
