Home care fund for Xolani in Polokwane
Xolani can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $1,250.

I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a fall and hip fracture Xolani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Xolani desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Xolani worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $960
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $105
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
