Okan, 93, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,450 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my father, who's 93. After the death of his spouse Okan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Okan 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.
Okan worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, 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 $1,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $155
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Okan.
So sorry you're going through this, Uğur. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
is there anything that isn't money that would help Okan?
Thank you. If you're in Gaziantep I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
good luck, Uğur. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Tallahassee!
Hope things get better soon, Uğur. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. All the best!
