Lestari wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Lestari stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia824 views
I'm caring for me, who's 87. After a stroke last March Lestari can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lestari desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Lestari 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 four 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 (four months): $650
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
