Hendra wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Hendra stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇮🇩 Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia815 views
I'm caring for me, who's 75. After the death of his spouse Hendra can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hendra desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Hendra worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 4 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 $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $440
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $35
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hendra
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
