Care for Naufal, 75: help cover a carer and medication in Bandung

Help Naufal stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

Bandung
I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a stroke last November Naufal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Naufal 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. Naufal worked all of his life as a nurse, 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,100 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $850 • Medication and prescriptions: $90 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Ani

Updates from Ani

  1. Quick update: $665 raised so far (60%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($325 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. 12% there. I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. Thank you. - Ani

    Wishing you the best, Ani. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours.

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Naufal.

      • Ani Novi SetiawanOwnerAnswer

        Part-time carer (four months) is $850 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.

    • Gennaro De Luca

      rooting for you, Ani. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best

      • Tyler Stanley

        Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Red Deer but we're thinking of you!

        • Álvaro B. Fernández

          So sorry you're going through this, Ani. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.

          • Maxim Igor Mikhailov

            hope it all works out, Ani. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 9 people at work. Thinking of Bandung.

            • Khalid Fahad Lashari

              I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 37 people at work. Greetings from Sapporo.
