Dignity in old age: caring for Tarık
Tarık can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $1,550.
🇹🇷 Konya, Konya, Türkiye735 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 95. After the death of his spouse Tarık can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tarık 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.
Tarık worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $185
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $85
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. After 6 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Thinking of you, Şule. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Faisalabad but we're thinking of you. Blessings
