I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Fatema can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Fatema 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.
Fatema worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $500 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $430
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35
• Medication and prescriptions: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love, Liton. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Pretoria so I could bring a meal. Love from Tampa
I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto.
