Home care fund for Shireen in Ekurhuleni
Shireen can't afford the care She needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $1,050.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After worsening Parkinson's disease Shireen can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shireen desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Shireen worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $860
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thank you. If you're in Ekurhuleni I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
