Care for Kurniawan, 77: help cover a carer and medication in Jakarta
Kurniawan can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $550.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,646 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a heart attack Kurniawan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kurniawan 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.
Kurniawan worked all of his life as a bus driver, 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 $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $440
• Medication and prescriptions: $50
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
