Home care fund for Kreesan in Johannesburg
Kreesan cannot afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we are asking for $800.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa1,581 views
I'm caring for me, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Kreesan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kreesan desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Kreesan worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $480
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $160
Thanks for reading all this.

you're not alone, Kreesan. Your post was clear and honest.
Wishing you peace, Kreesan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Seoul.
Hang in there, Kreesan. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Johannesburg.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kreesan?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (three months), advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Jakarta donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kreesan.
Sending good thoughts, Kreesan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
You're not alone, Kreesan. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Cebu City so I could bring a meal!
