Home care fund for Hatice in Istanbul
Help Hatice stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye740 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a fall and hip fracture Hatice can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hatice 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.
Hatice worked all of her 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 $1,600 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,300
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $155
• Medication and prescriptions: $145
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hatice.
Sure. The biggest one is part-time carer (six months), $1,300. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
