Budi wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Budi stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇮🇩 Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia1,493 views
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.

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.

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
