Care for Mustafa, 92: help cover a carer and medication in Üsküdar
Help Mustafa stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇹🇷 Üsküdar, Istanbul, Türkiye2,335 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 92. After a stroke last July Mustafa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mustafa 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.
Mustafa worked all of his life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $1,500 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,400
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
Thanks for being kind about this.

50% there. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
Small update. $630 so far, the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 26% now ($390). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
