Home care fund for Megan in Richards Bay
Megan can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last April; we're asking for $1,550.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a stroke last April Megan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Megan 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.
Megan worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,150
• Medication and prescriptions: $230
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
