Home care fund for Ilham in Semarang
Ilham can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $950.

I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a diagnosis of dementia Ilham can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ilham desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Ilham worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 2 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 $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $790
• Medication and prescriptions: $55
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
