GOOD family -Alzheimers caregivers need Help!
Donation protected
Hi,my name is Dawn Racette,and I'm fundraising for the Good family. Eric and Melissa Good are the most loving, kind,loyal people you'd ever be Blessed to know,and they've fallen on Medical and Financial difficulties.
Eric, a trained chef,suffered a back injury in 2008,which resulted in having a cage put around his back which leaves him in chronic pain and unable to work. He moved his wife Melissa, daughters Riley and Lindsey into his mom Paula's house,when they noticed that Paula started becoming more and more forgetful. It was becoming more frequent,to the point that they took her to a Geriatric Dr. who confirmed the diagnosis of Alzheimers.
The family then all began to become caregivers to Paula,while Melissa started noticing that she was experiencing hand tremors. Melissa's condition increased to the point of facial swelling, slurred speech,and bouts of inability to walk. After 2 years of tests,several UCONN visits,she still experiences neurological difficulties which have yet been pin pointed.
With Melissa and Paula's physical limitations and challenges, Eric has been trying to make their home more handicapped accessible with bare boned limited funds.
The constant trips to hospitals and Drs. took a toll on the families cars,and 1 no longer runs,while the other runs,but is also in need of repairs,and the family is in constant fear that it,too,will break down.
With all of the physical, emotional,financial stressors happening, the family is now behind in house taxes,utility bills,medical bills, car payments,and literally struggle to put food on the table. Lindsey and Riley both work,but it's not enough to support the family.
The Goods need vehicles to make their Dr. appointments, they need to pay their house taxes so they have a home,and they need to put food on the table and Live. Paula needs to have the grace and dignity to stay in her own home.
Please,if you can find it in your heart to give as much as you can to the Goods it would be so appreciated. All of the money donated is literally going to basic needs. No family,especially someone with medical onditions,needs to worry about where their next meal is coming from,or where they're going to lay their head at night. Anything you can do is a Blessing. Thank you.
