I'm caring for me, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia Oğuz can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Oğuz desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Oğuz worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $1,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,150
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55
