Care for Kirana, 87: help cover a carer and medication in Jakarta
Kirana can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last August; we're asking for $200.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 87. After a stroke last August Kirana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kirana desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Kirana worked all of her life as a nurse, 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 $200 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this, Wahyu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Çankaya so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Wahyu. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Quezon City
