Ekurhuleni

I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After a diagnosis of dementia Carla can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Carla 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. Carla worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 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 $300 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $135 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $105 Thank you so much.
