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.
