Ebuka can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $250.

I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a fall and hip fracture Ebuka can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ebuka desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Ebuka worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $250 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace. Get well soon. We're a small family in Zanzibar City but we're thinking of you.
rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Hồ Chí Minh City this morning.
wishing Ebuka a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Yakubu. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Tema.
take care, Yakubu. Get well soon. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Yakubu. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Narayanganj
Good luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 19 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
best of luck, Yakubu. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Ibadan
Stay strong, Yakubu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
keep going, Yakubu. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Blessings!
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from New York.
