Meltem can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $250.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a heart attack Meltem can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Meltem 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.
Meltem worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $250 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120
• Medication and prescriptions: $70
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60
Glad we found this place.

Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care!
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. All the best!
