Home care fund for Michael in Ikeja
Help Michael stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Nigeria973 views
I'm caring for me, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Michael can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Michael desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Michael worked all of his life as a bus driver, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $360
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
If you're reading this, thank you.
