Home care fund for Meltem in Istanbul

I'm caring for my mother, who's 83. After worsening Parkinson's disease Meltem can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Meltem 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. Meltem worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,750 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $1,400 • Medication and prescriptions: $160 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $80 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
