Home care fund for Janet in Arusha
Help Janet stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇹🇿 Arusha, Arusha, Tanzania1,188 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After a fall and hip fracture Janet can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Janet desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Janet worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $640
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Thank you for reading my story.
