Naivasha
I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After the death of her spouse Wambui can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wambui 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. Wambui 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 four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $500 goes: โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $110 โ€ข Part-time carer (four months): $330 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Irene

        Is there anything that isn't money that would help Wambui?
