Home care fund for Florence in Embakasi
Help Florence stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇰🇪 Kenya744 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a stroke last March Florence can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Florence 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.
Florence worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $540
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending love, Simiyu. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Rockford.
wishing you peace, Simiyu. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
