Hey guys!
First I want to thank everyone who donated the first time. It meant the world to my mother Gloria, and to me.
Unfortunately, Medicare barely covers the bare minimum and my mother and I are stuck in a hole, yet again. I seriously refuse to place my mother in a nursing home. Trying hard not to get it to that point.
I personally know friends that have dealt with that horrible situation and I can’t see myself putting my mother through that hell. She’d leave me way sooner. She was such an amazing wife and an amazing mother. She does not deserve that to be what’s left of her life.
So here I am. Starting this GoFundMe again, in hopes that you guys will be able to help me out again, if you can. And if you can’t donate (which I totally understand) it would mean a great deal to me if you guys can share this GofundMe page. Sharing does wonders guys. This is just too much for me to handle alone.
Although she now gets 6 hours of aide help, for 7 days. Which I’m so grateful for. That’s just 6 hours in the day. She needs 24 hour care. It’s impossible for me to handle. Incase no one got to read my first GoFundMe, my mother suffers from dementia, on top of that, she has breast cancer, lymphedema and is frequently going to hospitals/appointments. Let me add that many times, her insurance will not pay for transportation or they get there late, so everything comes out of pocket.
Still trying to get the 24 hour care. The limbo of having this carrot of hope dangling in front of us has been extremely stressing yet again. It just doesn’t stop. It’s depressing because I can’t let me my mom down. I’m still paying out of pocket for home aide after the 6 hours, medical bills that aren't covered, and many needed medical supplies. Her glasses recently broke and so that’s also costing me. I included a couple of bills on this post, so you can see for yourself. It’s been a struggle for the past several months.
I have been managing with just six hours of aid per day, seven days a week. Recognizing my increased needs, I have already applied for 24-hour aid, but unfortunately, the processing time for approval is expected to take a few more months. This prolonged wait has left me in a vulnerable position, particularly regarding some essential supplies that I am currently awaiting approval for, including underpants, chucks, and pads, dry wipes, food. The list goes on and on. Even doing the laundry adds up.
In the meantime, I have been tirelessly working to secure extra hours to cover the costs of additional home aid. Regrettably, despite my best efforts, the income generated is simply not enough to meet both the expenses of the aid and my mounting bills.
As a result, I find myself falling further behind on crucial payments, which is adding enormous stress to an already challenging situation.
All this and this does not include my own health situation, my own well-being. As I’ve explained in the past I am on a disability pension and have peaked on absolutely everything physically and monetarily possible. I’m not perfect. But if you personally know me, you know that I would go over and beyond for my friends, especially family. All I’ve got in this world is my mother and I’m trying my best to have her here with me for as long as I can.To keep her comfortable. Again, I appreciate you guys so much for even taking the time to read this. I pray this will be the last time I do this.
God Bless and Thank You!
