Care for Utami, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Bekasi
Utami can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $750.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After the death of her spouse Utami can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Utami 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.
Utami worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $750 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $50
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Part-time carer (four months): $590
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
