Home care fund for Modupe in Abuja
Modupe can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $800.
🇳🇬 Nigeria790 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 87. After a diagnosis of dementia Modupe can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Modupe 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.
Modupe worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $590
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
