I'm caring for me, who's 81. After the death of her spouse Nokuthula can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nokuthula 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. Nokuthula worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,300 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $840 • Medication and prescriptions: $170 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Nokuthula
