Setyawan did not mind helping out and continued to do so while working as a village secretary in Paringan, which is located within Ponorogo regency.

He almost died but eventually managed to recover.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n He told CNA that the near-death experience made him decide to dedicate his life to helping people with mental health problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n In 2007, someone asked Setyawan to pick up two men, aged 37 and 45, who had been discharged from a psychiatric hospital.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n As their families did not welcome them back, Setyawan decided to take them home.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Lamini remembers being shocked when Setyawan came home with the strangers.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTo me, it was just strange. Why should we have them at our house?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe were still a young family and I wanted attention from my husband but was forced to share it with strangers.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Eventually, she began to understand why Setyawan wanted to help.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI realised that people who suffer from mental health problems also need attention, affection and love like us normal people,\u201d Lamini recounted.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Setyawan added: \u201cAnd now actually it is the other way around. She is the one who takes care of them.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n For the next 10 years, they took in mainly men who suffered from mental health issues.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n But in 2017, they decided to house only women as Setywan started to take a step back due to health reasons and Lamini became the main caregiver.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Setyawan and Lamini do not charge a fee for looking after those with mental health problems. However, most of the families give the couple a small token sum to help out with their expenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n When funds run low, the couple would draw from their savings. They have also received donations from the public.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Margo Widodo can take care of 12 people at once.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] Setyawan did not mind helping out and continued to do so while working as a village secretary in Paringan, which is located within Ponorogo regency.
