I'm caring for me, who's 82. After the death of her spouse Nokuthula can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nokuthula desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Nokuthula 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 six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $980
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $135
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
