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

I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After the death of her spouse Ronke can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ronke desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Ronke worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $690
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Rawalpindi but we're thinking of you. God bless
Sending strength, Paul. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. Take care
sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
good luck, Paul. This could happen to any of us.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Reading donated after I showed her your page. Love from Reading
Wishing you the best, Paul. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Asaba.
Thanks for sharing this, Paul. Get well soon
Take care, Paul. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Praying for you, Paul. Your post was clear and honest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family, Paul. Wishing Ronke a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best!
Good luck, Paul. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
