Help us keep our house
Donation protected
I’m reaching out to you today on behalf of my family. I live with my mom, grandpa, and sister. A few years ago, upon discovering our grandpa had Alzheimer’s, we moved in with him and have been taking care of him ever since.
My mom has juggled taking care of me, my sister, and my grandpa all at once. With no siblings or other family to help her out, she’s had to carry the world on her shoulders. These days, her entire life has been dedicated to our grandpa’s care, and so she’s struggled to find a job that either lets her care for my grandpa at the same time or has a large enough salary to hire a caregiver.
Recently, my grandpa fell really ill and was rushed to the hospital. He couldn’t remember where he was or why, so taking care of him meant protecting him from himself, a constant eye on him 24/7. It became impossible to do so without a caregiver’s hand. To make matters worse, our grandpa has no savings or pension, and because he’s Mexican, he has no social security, and isn’t eligible for health insurance or any caregiving benefits.
The combination of hospital bills, caregiving bills, and my mom’s unemployment all lead to huge money debt. We can’t afford groceries for the rest of the week, let alone the next few months. With my mom’s credit debt, we’re close to having the house taken away, and my mom has tried to make things seem ok but my sister and I can both see she’s desperate.
Your support would mean the world to us.
