Home care fund for Hamisi in Likoni
Hamisi cannot afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we are asking for $900.
🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya1,786 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Hamisi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hamisi 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.
Hamisi worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 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 $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $630
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120
I hope life is good to you.
