Fatuma wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Fatuma stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇬 Mukono, Central Region, Uganda1,425 views
I'm caring for me, who's 95. After the death of her spouse Fatuma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fatuma desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Fatuma worked all of her 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 $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $310
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
