Rizky wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Rizky stay in his own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇮🇩 Indonesia2,019 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a heart attack Rizky can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rizky 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.
Rizky worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $600 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $420
• Medication and prescriptions: $135
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 7 people at work. Love from Ciudad de México.
Hang in there, Umar. Shared this with my family.
Sending love, Umar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
