Onitsha

I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a stroke last August Ngozi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ngozi 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. Ngozi worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $650 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $540 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30 • Medication and prescriptions: $80 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Esther
