Home care fund for Hauwa in Benin City
Help Hauwa stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world1,272 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a heart attack Hauwa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hauwa desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Hauwa worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 3 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 $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $770
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $20
If you're reading this, thank you.
