Home care fund for Namukasa in Kampala
Namukasa, 83, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $600 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a stroke last December Namukasa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Namukasa desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Namukasa worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 (three months): $420
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
