Care for Pandu, 82: help cover a carer and medication in Surakarta
Pandu can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $650.

I'm caring for my father, who's 82. After the death of his spouse Pandu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Pandu desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Pandu worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $650 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Part-time carer (four months): $540
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
rooting for you. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Surakarta.
