Care for Dewi, 91: help cover a carer and medication in Makassar
Help Dewi stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇮🇩 Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia733 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After a stroke last July Dewi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Dewi 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.
Dewi worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $270
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
