I'm caring for me, who's 92. After worsening Parkinson's disease Ömer can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ömer desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Ömer worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $60 • Medication and prescriptions: $155 • Part-time carer (six months): $1,085 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ömer.

    • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. hospital bed and mattress rental comes first ($60) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.

  • Sending love, Ömer. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.

    • Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Hubballi.
