Kemi wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Kemi stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇳🇬 Nigeria442 views
I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Kemi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kemi desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Kemi worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $290
• Medication and prescriptions: $40
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending strength, Kemi. Get well soon. God bless.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours!
Hope it all works out, Kemi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Dwarka.
praying for you, Kemi. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
hope the doctors have good news. Love from San Diego.
