Jihan wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Jihan stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a heart attack Jihan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jihan 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.
Jihan worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $520
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
Glad we found this place.

look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Kasarani.
Sending good thoughts. Get well soon. We're a small family in Kingston but we're thinking of you
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Richards Bay donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
sending strength, Lia. I hope things turn around soon
Hope things get better soon, Lia. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Jakarta.
