Care for Selin, 92: help cover a carer and medication in Kadıköy
Help Selin stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇹🇷 Kadıköy, Istanbul, Türkiye551 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a heart attack Selin can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Selin desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Selin worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $490
• Medication and prescriptions: $190
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Selin
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (four months) is the biggest at $490. Let me know if you want more detail.
hang in there, Hande. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Pune.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Lagos.
