I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a stroke last July Nadia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nadia desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Nadia worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $400 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $115
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
• Medication and prescriptions: $210
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Andile. I hope things turn around soon.
Hope things get better soon, Andile. Wishing Nadia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Andile. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Johannesburg
