Vanessa wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Vanessa, 78, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $700 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After worsening Parkinson's disease Vanessa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Vanessa desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Vanessa worked all of her 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $700 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $440
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
Every share and every dollar helps.

Praying for you, Nenita. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Paarl this morning
take care. Your post was clear and honest. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
