Selin wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Selin stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇹🇷 Ankara, Ankara, Türkiye2,629 views
I'm caring for me, who's 82. After the death of her spouse Selin can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Selin desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Selin worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,050
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Selin
It's all in the list in the story. hospital bed and mattress rental is the big one at $70, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 15 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
You're not alone, Selin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Ankara.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Çankaya but we're thinking of you.
Sending love, Selin. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings
