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. - Thulani

  • 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
