Rani wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Rani stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world850 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a heart attack Rani can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rani 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.
Rani worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 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 $300 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Medication and prescriptions: $150
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

How is Rani doing now?
Wishing you the best, Lestari. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Worcester this morning. Blessings
Sending strength, Lestari. Get well soon. Take care.
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Madina
