I'm caring for me, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Okechukwu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Okechukwu desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Okechukwu worked all of his 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 three 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 (three months): $570
• Medication and prescriptions: $65
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace, Okechukwu. Hope you get there. All the best
Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Campinas so I could bring a meal. God bless.
