Obiageli wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Obiageli can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $800.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a fall and hip fracture Obiageli can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Obiageli desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Obiageli worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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 $800 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85
• Part-time carer (six months): $670
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
