Dignity in old age: caring for Oluwaseun

Help Oluwaseun stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a diagnosis of dementia Oluwaseun can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Oluwaseun 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. Oluwaseun worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $550 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $380 • Medication and prescriptions: $70 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
