Care for Naledi, 94: help cover a carer and medication in Ekurhuleni

I'm caring for me, who's 94. After a diagnosis of dementia Naledi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Naledi 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. Naledi worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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 $800 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $510 • Medication and prescriptions: $175 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $65 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
