Get Ruth Home: From Hospital to Accessible Home

Donation protected
Hi everyone!!

My name is Amy. My sisters and I are creating this GoFundMe for our mom, Ruth Pendergrass, who suffered a serious fall last Friday morning. She's currently hospitalized with her pelvis broken in three places and a spinal fracture. Mom is experiencing significant pain and has a long road to recovery ahead of her. Later this week or next, we hope to transfer her to a rehabilitation facility to begin physical therapy, which will be crucial for her healing and her being able to regain her mobility.

Before Mom can return home, we need to immediately modify our parents' house. We need to:
- Install a wheelchair ramp for safe entry
- Widen the bathroom doorway (which means partially removing a wall)
- Move plumbing / electrical to accommodate the new door and reposition appliances
- Convert the bathtub to a wheelchair-accessible walk-in shower
- Set up a temporary meal delivery service

**How Your Support Helps: **
Your donations will directly cover:
1. Medical expenses not covered by insurance
2. Building materials and construction costs for home modifications
3. Temporary meal support
4. Transportation to medical appointments

For everyone who has asked how to help, this is the most immediate need. If you're unable to donate, please share this campaign to help Mrs. Ruth regain her strength and independence and so we can get her back home safely.

We’re deeply grateful for everyone who has reached out with support. We appreciate the calls, the prayers, and the love shown to our family in the last few days. It means more than you could ever know.

With heartfelt thanks,
The Pendergrass family
