Care for Sari, 83: help cover a carer and medication in Malang
Sari can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $450.
🇮🇩 Malang, East Java, Indonesia446 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a diagnosis of dementia Sari can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sari desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Sari worked all of her 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 six 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 $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $310
• Medication and prescriptions: $95
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $30
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $15
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending good thoughts, Kartika. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Kasarani so I could bring a meal.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Cần Thơ this morning. God bless.
wishing you the best, Kartika. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
