Dignity in old age: caring for Ssebuliba
Help Ssebuliba stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After worsening Parkinson's disease Ssebuliba can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ssebuliba 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.
Ssebuliba worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $850 goes:
โข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
โข Part-time carer (three months): $740
โข Medication and prescriptions: $60
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Machakos
Praying for you, Neema. Wishing Ssebuliba a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
