Hendrik wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Hendrik stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇿🇦 South Africa2,089 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After the death of his spouse Hendrik can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hendrik desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Hendrik worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $670
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
• Medication and prescriptions: $130
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

thinking of you and your family, Precious. Shared this with my family. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hendrik?
hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

Good luck. This could happen to any of us. After 24 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon, Precious. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Sheffield.

You're not alone, Precious. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
