Home care fund for Amaka in Abuja
Help Amaka stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Nigeria971 views
I'm caring for me, who's 90. After a stroke last June Amaka can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Amaka 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.
Amaka 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 four 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 $200 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Istanbul so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Surrey.
hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you!
hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
