Ikeja
I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Comfort can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Comfort desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Comfort worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $650 goes: โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $135 โ€ข Part-time carer (four months): $490 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $25 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Comfort

    Stay strong. Get well soon. Don't give up. Love from Warangal.

    • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Comfort

      • Medication and prescriptions is $135 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.

    • thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Hamilton this morning. Thinking of Ikeja.

      • Good luck, Comfort. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.

        • Thinking of you, Comfort. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless
