Kübra wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Kübra can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $1,050.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After a diagnosis of dementia Kübra can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kübra 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.
Kübra worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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 $1,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $890
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $55
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
