I'm caring for my father, who's 96. After a stroke last November Budi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Budi desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Budi worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,050 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $820 • Medication and prescriptions: $130 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Ilham

  • Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

    • Shared it with a few friends. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Taguig

      • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Budi.

        • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (three months) comes first ($820) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.

      • Rooting for you, Ilham. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

        • Wishing you peace. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

          • Wishing you peace, Ilham. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Denpasar

              gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Joliet.

              • Sending good thoughts, Ilham. Get well soon.

                • wishing you the best, Ilham. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

                    • You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Take care

                      • Thinking of you and your family, Ilham. Hope you get there. Thinking of Denpasar.

                        • Take care, Ilham. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Denpasar
