Alzheimer's Steals Lives

Donation protected
I never thought I would have to use gofundme . I have started this campaign to help my sister who lost her job and is trying her best to care for her husband that has advancing Alzheimer's. 
   My sister works in the loan department in banking. Layoffs and mergers happened and now she is on the last month of unemployment (6 months in California). Her husbands daycare center has been gracious enough to let him continue to come to the daycare center two days a week on grants since she lost her job. 
   She has always got him up , dressed, and on his daycare bus before her work day began. She rushes home to  beat the daycare bus within minutes to get him off the bus.  She bathes him, takes him to all his doctor appointments, works until the wee hours of the night to finish work at home. She has done this since 2013 , when he was diagnosed.
     She does her best to make his life as normal as she possibly can.
   Now she needs help. She is looking for work, but only has two days a week to go to interviews. Unemployment ends this April and she is super stressed out because she doesn't know what to do .
     They both have done exactly what we all do... go to work and take care of business. Alzheimer's is literally stealing their lives.
   I want to be able to raise enough money to get her through one more month so she can continue to seek employment. She is the rock.... but even rocks crumble under extreme pressure.
