I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Pieter can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Pieter desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Pieter worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $1,150 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $710
• Medication and prescriptions: $160
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $160
With deep gratitude,
Jabu
