Donation protected
Hi, I’m raising funds for a friend who is disabled and wants more than anything to see her beloved son before he dies. He is in hospice in Colorado, and she needs funds to pay for travel expenses and a companion to assist her in getting there safely. She writes:
“I am in need of donations to cover my expenses in this urgent time.
Many of you may know Patrick Lingley, my son. Patrick is in hospice in Colorado. I would like to travel out there to be with him in his time of need. My expenses are and will be higher than my available income. I anticipate my expenses for the following:
- My travel and lodging expenses.
- The purchase of a safe medical device so that I am able to stay on my feet and walk safely and independently. Due to a stroke five years ago, I have permanent ataxia, which prevents me from standing up and walking in a safe and independent manner without fear of falling. I have found a medical device that matches my physical needs. The cost ($3,999) of it is more than I can afford so I will need financial assistance to purchase it.
- Personal assistance to help memaintain and keep my energy level high enough to be able to focus and care for Patrick with courage and compassion.
I want and need to be there for Patrick during the next months, for as long as he needs me with him. This is a tragedy for all who know and love him. I am determined to be there for him while he leave us. Any financial assistance for my journey is appreciated. In addition your donations will benefit Patrick too.”
