Help Me Help My Mom
Donation protected
People often get the mistaken idea that only children are spoiled. The reality is that the level of responsibility is exponentially more especially when it comes to one's parents.
Many don't think much about what happens when their parents get to the point in life where they can't manage.
Getting to the point at which you become the parent and your parents become your responsibility is life changing and unfortunately bereft of many options or resources.
Alzheimer's has already robbed me of my mom's mom. Although grandma lived to 102, her last years in this earth she spent fighting the monster that is Alzheimer's.
Presently mom lives in the next state over about 2 1/2 hours drive away, She has difficulty walking due to scoliosis and bone degeneration.
She also has been undergoing testing to determine if anold bout of cancer has returned.
Add to this mom is showing signs of Alzheimer's/dementia which breaks my heart to see her confidence in herself and her surroundings starting to wane.
I have been running back and forth takingher to Dr. appointments and doing what I can but its come at great cost as holding down a conventional 9-5 job is impossible.
Mom lives in one of those sleepy towns where there are very few job opportunities outside of Walmart.
Currently, I am working on moving mom to my state.
I need help covering my household expenses while this is ongoing and I have no place else to turn for help.
Whatever you can give from $1 or more is appreciated more than the words on this screen ever can convey.
