Home care fund for Saba in Addis Ababa
Saba can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a diagnosis of dementia Saba can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Saba 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.
Saba worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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:
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Part-time carer (four months): $510
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Wondimu. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal.
