Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Istanbul.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (three months), advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ömer
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (three months) is the biggest at $1,350. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending love. Wishing Ömer a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Reading
Any chance of seeing the care agency's quote?
I sent the care agency's quote in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending love, Tolga. Wishing Ömer a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Praying for you, Tolga. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Marseille.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Tolga. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you, Tolga. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Machakos.
