Home care fund for Mercy in Lagos

I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After the death of her spouse Mercy can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mercy 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. Mercy worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $200 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75 • Medication and prescriptions: $85 Thank you for reading my story. - Lilian
