Help Nafula stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a stroke last June Nafula can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nafula 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. Nafula 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 $700 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $550 • Medication and prescriptions: $70 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
