Help fund Peter Starbuck's care
Donation protected
My name is Callie Starbuck and I am reaching out to you for help in funding my uncle's care.
As some of you may be aware, Peter Starbuck's health has been declining over the past year. Peter displays significant cognitive degeneration which is likely exacerbated by alcohol abuse. He is no longer able to live by himself, much less run the inn he currently owns. His financial situation is complicated and Covid did him no favors in being able to stay above water.
His dear friends Bridget (Thorne) and Gary Jacobsen, Tom Wootten and others, have been working tirelessly since May to cohabitate with Peter, get him to doctors, comb through his finances, and work with the appropriate consultants to help inform us on what Peter's next step's should be.
Peter needs to be moved into a care facility that will ultimately be funded by Medicaid. However, Peter cannot qualify for Medicaid until he is divested of all his assets. The inn is being put on the market and we hope for a swift sale, but need to be prepared for the worst.
Peter has enough liquid assets to afford 3 months of care somewhere. After that he would have to leave if could not pay and still had the inn on his balance sheet. He literally would have nowhere to go.
His care facility costs are estimated at $8,000 per month. We need your help in funding this care. The healthcare system is failing Peter and there are no safety nets.
Please consider contributing what you can, Peter needs anything we can give to help keep him safe until the state will.
My heartfelt thanks,
Callie Starbuck
