Home care fund for Ikenna in Lagos
Help Ikenna stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,019 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a stroke last July Ikenna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ikenna 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.
Ikenna worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $500
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Wishing you peace, Ifeanyi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from San Antonio
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
you're not alone, Ifeanyi. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Bakersfield.
