🇹🇷 Kadıköy, Istanbul, Türkiye2,073 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After the death of her spouse 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 25 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 factory worker, and raised 3 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 $1,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $135
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $165
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hatice
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (three months) is the biggest at $1,050. Ask me anything else.
Praying for you, Zeynep. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
Best of luck, Zeynep. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Zeynep. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings.
