Lani De Klerk
South Africa , Kimberley

- Lani had diabetes, and I assisted her with traveling between doctors and helping to take care of her children.
- I drove her around as she could not see as good anymore
- The last month and a half she ended up in a hospital that had terrible aftercare, which I decided to bath, change her nappies because she had heart failure and kidney failure.
- The hospital was in a terrible state, with little to no food at all, and no water within the rooms.
- After getting advised and getting guidelines from a retired nurse I bathed her 2 times a day, change her nappies and cleaned her wounds on her legs 3 times a day
- I also fed her when she was still able to eat by herself when she was at her last they put in a feeding tube for her
- a week before her death she was turminal, after that I still did the same thing every day and stood by her side.
