I'm caring for me, who's 80. After a heart attack Nolan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nolan desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Nolan worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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 $3,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $430
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340
If you're reading this, thank you.

Rooting for you, Nolan. Wishing Nolan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Johannesburg.
Sending good thoughts. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
