Move to Hospice Care for Last Few Months
Donation protected




I've had to quit my jobs as a self employed animal caretaker and vet tech assistant, leaving my only income from SDI (temporary so far). I can no longer drive and have to use a walker to get around in my house; with the way this is progressing, I'll be in a wheelchair soon and will need more and more help with personal care. This has all happened in a matter of 6-7 months and I was only just recently approved for MediCal coverage to start in April, thus depleting all my savings with the multiple tests and doctor's visits.
With my continued decline and an expected ALS diagnosis, my goal is to move closer to my daughter and her family in central California, as well as see specialists that my insurance can't or won't cover in order to get a diagnosis and care.
Any contribution, big or small, will be helpful in obtaining housing near my daughter (300 miles away), additional supports as I need them (wheelchair, ramps, etc.), and ensure timely testing and appointments with specialists so I can get a diagnosis.
Thank you!
