Dignity in old age: caring for Jihan
Jihan cannot afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we are asking for $550.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia796 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Jihan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jihan 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.
Jihan worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $550 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Medication and prescriptions: $150
• Part-time carer (four months): $340

You're not alone, Yoga. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from London.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
