Büşra can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $950.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After the death of her spouse Büşra can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Büşra 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.
Büşra worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $580
• Medication and prescriptions: $100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $175
Thanks for reading all this.

praying for you, Neslihan. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Kyiv donated after I showed her your page
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Muzaffarpur!
good luck, Neslihan. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
how is Büşra doing now?
This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Coimbatore.
Shared this with my family. After 10 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Best of luck, Neslihan. This could happen to any of us.
You're not alone, Neslihan. Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Allentown.
