I'm caring for me, who's 79. After a stroke last February Kato can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kato desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Kato worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 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 $800 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Part-time carer (three months): $690
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Any update on how things are going in Mbarara?
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Mbarara.
Hope things get better soon, Kato. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best
Wishing you peace, Kato. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Good luck, Kato. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
