I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After a stroke last November Kwadwo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kwadwo 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.
Kwadwo worked all of his 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: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Frank
Update from Madina: I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations. We're at 84% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($152 in total) I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
