Essen

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia Ebru can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ebru 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. Ebru 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 three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $2,750 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $520 • Part-time carer (three months): $1,800 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430 Thank you for reading my story. - Oğuz
