Home care fund for Zainab in Lagos
Zainab cannot afford the care She needs after a stroke last October; we are asking for $150.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria783 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a stroke last October Zainab can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zainab desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Zainab worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $150 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
