Home care fund for Wayne in East London
Help Wayne stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇿🇦 South Africa1,423 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After worsening Parkinson's disease Wayne can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wayne desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Wayne worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $350 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $140
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $145
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
Every share and every dollar helps.
