Care for Lwazi, 96: help cover a carer and medication in Johannesburg
Lwazi, 96, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $850 for a carer and medicines.
🇿🇦 Gauteng, South Africa983 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a stroke last August Lwazi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lwazi desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Lwazi worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $520
• Medication and prescriptions: $105
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
Glad we found this place.
