I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a stroke last September Lwazi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lwazi 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. Lwazi worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $350 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Medication and prescriptions: $210 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Charlene
