Home care fund for Mthunzi in Pretoria

I'm caring for me, who's 86. After a diagnosis of dementia Mthunzi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mthunzi 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. Mthunzi worked all of his 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 six 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 $1,250 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $1,050 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $85 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
