I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Yakubu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yakubu desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Yakubu worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $250 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Medication and prescriptions: $95 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Yakubu
