Home care fund for Mekdes in Bahir Dar

I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Mekdes can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mekdes desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Mekdes 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 eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $700 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $480 • Medication and prescriptions: $85 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
