Support Diane and Grandma Ellen’s Long-Term Care

Diane Wilson, 72, and Ellen Hayes, 96, are currently residing in long-term care facilities due to significant health challenges.

Diane suffered a major stroke in April 2024, resulting in global aphasia and apraxia. She is unable to speak or move independently and requires comprehensive assistance with communication, daily activities, and mobility. Ongoing therapy and specialized support are essential to maintain her quality of life.

Ellen is battling advanced congestive heart failure. Her condition necessitates constant medical oversight, medication management, and support for daily living activities.

Neither Diane nor Ellen had long-term care insurance or retirement savings to cover these extensive needs. The financial burden of their care is substantial, encompassing:

• Skilled nursing care expenses

• Speech and occupational therapy for Diane

• Personal supplies and essentials not covered by insurance

• Comfort items to enhance their living environments

• Transportation for medical appointments and family visits

This situation underscores the critical importance of planning for the future. Without adequate savings or insurance, the costs of long-term care can be overwhelming.

Your support will directly contribute to Diane and Ellen’s ongoing care, ensuring they receive the dignity and comfort they deserve. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
