Home care fund for Adjoa in Tema
Adjoa can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $400.
🇬🇭 Ghana1,267 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After the death of her spouse Adjoa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adjoa desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Adjoa worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 (six months): $280
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
Every share and every dollar helps.
