I'm caring for me, who's 80. After a stroke last May Ani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ani desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Ani worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $700 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $35 • Part-time carer (three months): $610 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ani

  3. Update from Jakarta: I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. We're at 31% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

        It's all in the list in the story. hospital bed and mattress rental is the big one at $35, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
