Home care fund for Tolga in Üsküdar
Tolga, 78, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $900 for a carer and medicines.
🇹🇷 Üsküdar, Istanbul, Türkiye734 views
I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a heart attack Tolga can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tolga desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Tolga worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $900 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $155
• Medication and prescriptions: $145
• Part-time carer (three months): $600
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Bogor.
Thinking of you and your family, Tolga. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Tolga. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Munich but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
