Care for Sibel, 86: help cover a carer and medication in Kadıköy
Sibel can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last June; we're asking for $1,450.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a stroke last June Sibel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sibel desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Sibel worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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 $1,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,100
• Medication and prescriptions: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $175
If you're reading this, thank you.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($527 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sibel?
Thank you. If you're in Kadıköy I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. After 8 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
how is Sibel doing now?
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 11 people at work.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bogor

Rooting for you, Recep. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest!
