Dignity in old age: caring for Amaya
Amaya, 78, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $750 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a heart attack Amaya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Amaya 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.
Amaya worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 3 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 $750 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $520
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

How is Amaya doing now?
sending good thoughts, Roshan. I hope things turn around soon. God bless!
Praying for you, Roshan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Jakarta Selatan but we're thinking of you. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
Good luck, Roshan. This could happen to any of us. God bless
Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
hope things get better soon, Roshan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
