Kemal wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Kemal stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After a heart attack Kemal can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kemal desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Kemal worked all of his 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 $300 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $90
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you, Meltem. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 24 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
