Home care fund for James in Nairobi
James can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $700.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya1,009 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a heart attack James can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and James desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
James worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $700 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Medication and prescriptions: $165
• Part-time carer (four months): $505
Glad we found this place.
