Care for Carla, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Johannesburg

I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Carla can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Carla desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Carla worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,400 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $1,100 • Medication and prescriptions: $125 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
