I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a heart attack Jepkoech can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jepkoech desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Jepkoech worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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 $1,050 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $820 • Medication and prescriptions: $60 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105 Thanks for reading all this. - Kamau

Updates from Kamau

  1. Quick update: $150 raised so far (14%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
