Bolaji, 94, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $150 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 94. After a heart attack Bolaji can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Bolaji desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Bolaji 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 eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $150 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
