Folake wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Folake stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Kaduna, Nigeria429 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a stroke last December Folake can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Folake desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Folake worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $650 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
• Part-time carer (eight months): $540
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
