Care for Kaan, 92: help cover a carer and medication in Kadıköy

Kaan can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $600.

Kadıköy
I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a fall and hip fracture Kaan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kaan desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Kaan worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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 $600 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $60 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Part-time carer (three months): $495 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Mustafa

Updates from Mustafa

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 47% funded and I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Kadıköy: the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. We're at 25% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
