Murat wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Murat stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇩🇪 Germany3,952 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 84. After the death of his spouse Murat can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Murat 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.
Murat worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $4,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $510
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $390
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

You're not alone, Emre. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
thanks for sharing this, Emre. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Stay strong, Emre. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Wiesbaden
hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Wiesbaden
I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings!
