Dignity in old age: caring for Ngozi
Ngozi, 95, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $700 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a fall and hip fracture Ngozi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ngozi 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.
Ngozi worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $700 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Part-time carer (three months): $540
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
