Onur wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Onur can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last April; we're asking for $1,250.

I'm caring for my father, who's 90. After a stroke last April Onur can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Onur desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Onur worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,000
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
• Medication and prescriptions: $145
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

- Went above and beyond
I was nervous about reaching out, but this person made me feel comfortable and supported from the very first interaction. Their help was invaluable.
- Quick response, great follow-up
The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

Praying for you, Özlem. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Üsküdar.
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Üsküdar!
shared this with my family. Love from Sydney
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Onur.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (three months) comes first ($1,000) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there, Özlem. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Edinburgh.
Take care, Özlem. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Paris.
Take care, Özlem. I hope things turn around soon.
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Üsküdar.
