I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After worsening Parkinson's disease Thandi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Thandi 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.
Thandi 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $300 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
I hope life is good to you.
