Dignity in old age: caring for Okechukwu

I'm caring for me, who's 74. After worsening Parkinson's disease Okechukwu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Okechukwu desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Okechukwu worked all of his life as a bus driver, 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 $400 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $270 • Medication and prescriptions: $60 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 Thanks for being kind about this. - Okechukwu
