Home care fund for Nneka in Gwagwalada
Help Nneka stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Gwagwalada, Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,264 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Nneka can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nneka desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Nneka worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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 $700 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Part-time carer (six months): $555
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending love, Samuel. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Take care!
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Abuja FCT. I'll ask around and let you know
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Mukono donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
thanks for sharing this, Samuel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Mombasa but we're thinking of you
Good luck, Samuel. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Kochi donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
wishing Nneka a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 21 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Bloemfontein.
