Lilian wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Lilian can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $800.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,144 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a heart attack Lilian can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lilian 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.
Lilian worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $800 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Part-time carer (three months): $655
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace. 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. Love from Paris.
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Benin City
Wishing you peace, Ibrahim. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
Wishing you peace. Wishing Lilian a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Madurai.
wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Keep going, Ibrahim. Shared it with a few friends.
Thinking of you, Ibrahim. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Brasília.
Thanks for sharing this, Ibrahim. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Rawalpindi so I could bring a meal.
Praying for you, Ibrahim. Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Benin City.
Best of luck, Ibrahim. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Sending love, Ibrahim. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Ibrahim. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
