Care for Hesti, 87: help cover a carer and medication in Jakarta
Hesti cannot afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we are asking for $650.

I'm caring for me, who's 87. After the death of her spouse Hesti can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hesti desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Hesti worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $650 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $60
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $40
• Part-time carer (eight months): $550
Thank you so much.
