Home care fund for Dennis in Kumasi
Dennis can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $700.
🇬🇭 Kumasi, Ashanti, Ghana2,148 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Dennis can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dennis desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Dennis worked all of his 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 four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $700 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Part-time carer (four months): $560
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts, Isaac. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together.
Thanks for sharing this, Isaac. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Kumasi.
Thinking of you and your family, Isaac. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Hubballi donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Hubballi.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Isaac. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
