I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Chioma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Chioma 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. Chioma worked all of her life as a farmer, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $650 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $40 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 • Part-time carer (eight months): $575 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Fatima

  • Take care, Fatima. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

    • good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
