Care for Aylin, 80: help cover a carer and medication in Ankara
Aylin can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last July; we're asking for $1,250.
🇹🇷 Ankara, Ankara, Türkiye888 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a stroke last July Aylin can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aylin desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Aylin worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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 $1,250 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,050
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90
Thanks for being kind about this.
