Dignity in old age: caring for Lilian
Help Lilian stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a heart attack Lilian can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lilian desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Lilian worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $450
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts, Modupe. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Kampala so I could bring a meal. God bless
