Support Barbara in Her Time of Need

Barbara has battled advanced kidney cancer since 2019. She faces several other medical issues, needs help with mobility, and requires ongoing care. 

With no remaining savings, she is on the verge of being removed from her assisted living facility, and she has mounting expenses. 

We are applying for Utah’s New Choice Waiver program, which is an extension of Medicaid. This could provide the long-term care and stability she desperately needs—but approval may take 3 to 4 months. In the meantime, Barbara has nowhere to turn. Her family has helped all they can but is also facing serious medical and financial burdens of their own.

Barbara is gentle, kind, and quietly faithful. She has endured far more than her share of trials, including the loss of her immediate family members—except for her dear sister Janet. Janet has carried the heaviest of burdens and lost her husband Gene unexpectedly on Tuesday. 

Barbara needs our help. 

What Your Donation Will Help Cover:

  • Assisted Living Expenses
  • Outstanding Medical Bills 

We’ve explored every available option—state and non-profit programs, church support, and more.

The only path forward is for loved ones, extended family, and others to come together and help bridge the gap until Medicaid can take over.

Every dollar makes a difference. Please donate, share this page, or leave a message to help Barbara know she’s not alone.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
