Gül wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Gül can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $1,100.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After a heart attack Gül can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Gül 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.
Gül 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $230
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $125
• Part-time carer (three months): $745
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
