Home care fund for Dayo in Abuja
Help Dayo stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Abuja, Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,093 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After worsening Parkinson's disease Dayo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dayo desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Dayo worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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 $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $340
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
Every share and every dollar helps.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Abuja
Thank you. If you're in Abuja I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Good luck. Get well soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up.
Hope you get there. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Dortmund.
