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

I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a diagnosis of dementia Thulani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Thulani desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Thulani worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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 $950 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
• Part-time carer (six months): $780
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope it all works out, Thulani. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 15 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Allentown
