Home care fund for Rahayu in Bandung
Rahayu can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $850.
🇮🇩 Bandung, West Java, Indonesia1,846 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a heart attack Rahayu can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rahayu 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.
Rahayu worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $850 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $620
• Medication and prescriptions: $125
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you the best, Budi. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Lagos.
sending love, Budi. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Thanks for sharing this, Budi. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Budi. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Bandung.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Bandung
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
