Home care fund for Willem in Johannesburg
Willem can't afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we're asking for $1,400.

I'm caring for my father, who's 83. After worsening Parkinson's disease Willem can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Willem 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.
Willem worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $1,400 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,200
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95

Best of luck, Zola. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 7 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
