Dignity in old age: caring for Sinan
Help Sinan stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇹🇷 Antalya, Antalya, Türkiye1,790 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 81. After a heart attack Sinan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sinan 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.
Sinan worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,050
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Tuğba. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
hang in there, Tuğba. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Sending strength. Wishing Sinan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Antalya.
Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Thủ Đức so I could bring a meal.
you're not alone, Tuğba. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Nairobi
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Anaheim this morning.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Dallas
Stay strong. Hope you get there. Love from Lagos.
