Care for Elif, 91: help cover a carer and medication in Istanbul
Elif can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $1,100.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After the death of her spouse 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 50 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 shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $780
• Medication and prescriptions: $75
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $80
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong, Hüseyin. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Istanbul
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 14 people at work.
how is Elif doing now?

Thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Elif?
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Stay strong. Wishing Elif a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
