Care for Furkan, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Istanbul
Furkan can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $1,000.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye756 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After the death of his spouse Furkan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Furkan desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Furkan worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Part-time carer (three months): $850
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Istanbul
