I'm caring for me, who's 77. After the death of his spouse Mwende can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mwende desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Mwende worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $800 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Part-time carer (eight months): $685 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Mwende
