I'm caring for me, who's 74. After a stroke last August Itzel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Itzel 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. Itzel worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 2 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 $950 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $560 • Medication and prescriptions: $170 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180 Thanks for reading all this. - Itzel

                        Keep going, Itzel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                        • You're not alone, Itzel. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Johannesburg so I could bring a meal.
