Hülya wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Hülya can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last August; we're asking for $1,300.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a stroke last August Hülya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hülya desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Hülya worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 5 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 $1,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $950
• Medication and prescriptions: $125
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts. Wishing Hülya a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Hasan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hülya.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (three months) is the biggest at $950. Thanks, that means a lot.
you're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
hope things get better soon, Hasan. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Istanbul.
You're not alone, Hasan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you
