Care for Precious, 84: help cover a carer and medication in Ekurhuleni
Help Precious stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇿🇦 Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa807 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Precious can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Precious desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Precious worked all of her 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 six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $810
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $155
• Medication and prescriptions: $235
Every share and every dollar helps.
