Give the Love, Care for Greg, Let him Die at Home
Donation protected
Greg is in the end stages of a rare early-onset dementia, Posterior Cortical Atrophy with Lewy Body. I need your help to care for him. He has gone from renaissance man, actor, Shakespearean scholar, Italian sports car mechanic, and Love Of My Life; to bed-bound and fighting his demons while I attempt to keep the pee and poop cleaned up and Greg and myself safe.
I have been taking care of him for many years on my own. This spring it became dangerous as his Lewy Body dementia convinced him that he needed to kill the hallucinations that he believed lived in my body. I had to ask the sheriff for help. They brought him to the hospital, where the Dr.s almost killed him with improper medicine. He survived but is bed-bound. This is a fatal disease. He is back home with the help of hospice, but I now NEED YOUR HELP. I can not do this on my own 24/7.
I found a wonderful lady who is helping care for Greg out of the kindness of her heart, but I need to pay her. Greg is determined to live. His body is strong, as is his desire to flirt with the nurses! I do not know how long he will live. To pay her $20 an hour for 5 hours a day (minimum) a month, I need $3000.
$3000 for Greg to be able to live another month. If I do not find a way to care for him at home, he will be sent to a special facility in Sedalia, MO, 2 hours away, and he will die alone.
Greg taught me the importance of doing everything with LOVE. He would say on the stage, “no one wants to watch hate; they want to watch the love. Find the LOVE and play that.” So that is what I have been doing through the pee, the poop, the biting and hitting. We are still madly in love.
Please join us and GIVE THE LOVE!
Thank you,
Greg William McClure and Dareth G.
And add a little extra for some take-out. I am tired of my cooking!
