Wunmi wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Wunmi, 82, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $450 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a stroke last July Wunmi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wunmi 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.
Wunmi worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $250
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

stay strong, Oluwaseun. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Taguig.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Rawalpindi.

Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Sending strength, Oluwaseun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.

Thinking of you, Oluwaseun. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Mandaue.
