Home care fund for Juliet in Ikeja
Help Juliet stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria833 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a heart attack Juliet can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Juliet 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.
Juliet worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
If you're reading this, thank you.

We're at 103% thanks to 6 of you. I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
