I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Enzo can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Enzo desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Enzo worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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 $450 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $130 • Medication and prescriptions: $185 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $135 I hope life is good to you. - Fernando

  • Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Pretoria donated after I showed her your page.

    • Sending strength, Fernando. Hope this works out for you. After 6 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
