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. - Okechukwu
