Home care fund for Yağmur in Istanbul
Yağmur can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $1,100.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye474 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Yağmur can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yağmur desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Yağmur worked all of her life as a farmer, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $110
• Part-time carer (six months): $900
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $90
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope it all works out, Melek. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Keep going, Melek. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless
wishing you the best, Melek. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Istanbul.
Best of luck, Melek. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
