Home care fund for Daniel in Lagos

Help Daniel stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.

Lagos
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Daniel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Daniel desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Daniel worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $800 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Part-time carer (three months): $675 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Femi

Updates from Femi

  1. Update from Lagos: the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

        Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. God bless

        • Pradeep Indika Gunawardena

          Hope things get better soon, Femi. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

          • Fernando L. Urbina

            Keep going, Femi. Wishing Daniel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
