Care for Satria, 84: help cover a carer and medication in Jakarta Barat
Satria can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $550.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Barat, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia789 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After a fall and hip fracture Satria can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Satria 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.
Satria worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $550 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $340
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $70
Glad we found this place.

I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Narayanganj this morning. Thinking of Jakarta Barat.
Thinking of you, Candra. Looking forward to the next update
Sending love, Candra. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Candra. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Jakarta Barat.
