Nomsa wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Nomsa stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After worsening Parkinson's disease Nomsa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nomsa 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.
Nomsa 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 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 $1,150 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $990
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nomsa.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (six months) comes first ($990) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending love, Xolani. Wishing Nomsa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings
