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

I'm caring for me, who's 83. After a heart attack Mabel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mabel 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.
Mabel worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $690
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Mabel
Update from Accra: the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 19% thanks to 4 of you. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. More news soon. - Mabel
Good news. Because of your gifts ($33 in total) I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
