I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a heart attack Rahayu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rahayu 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. Rahayu worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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 $600 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $350 • Medication and prescriptions: $80 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Sri

Updates from Sri

  1. Small update. $158 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($58). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($10 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
