Dignity in old age: caring for Nokuthula
Help Nokuthula stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 75. 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 30 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $650
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $135
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
