Care for Nalini, 89: help cover a carer and medication in Johannesburg

Nalini, 89, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,250 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After a heart attack Nalini can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nalini 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. Nalini worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,250 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $840 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $170 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

      Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Hải Phòng donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Johannesburg.
