🇹🇷 Türkiye1,823 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a heart attack Esra can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Esra desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Esra worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $1,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $940
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
• Medication and prescriptions: $160
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Fatma
Update from Üsküdar: I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions. We're at 26% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 48% now ($576). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Esra
Part-time carer (six months) is $940 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Stay strong, Fatma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Vadodara this morning. God bless
You're not alone, Fatma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
