Care for Elif, 83: help cover a carer and medication in Konya
Help Elif stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world1,565 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a diagnosis of dementia Elif can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elif desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Elif worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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 $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $810
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $75
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Elif.
Sure. The biggest one is part-time carer (six months), $810. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
Thinking of you and your family, Sibel. Get well soon
