Help Jill Whalen after her leg amputation
Donation protected
Will you please help our mom, Jill Whalen, who unexpectedly had part of her leg amputated on Sunday March 14th.?
She had been having issues with her leg and had 5 surgeries (2 in the last week) to correct it, but unfortunately nothing worked.
My name is Marie. My brother Jason and I are asking for your help to purchase some essential items Mom needs to begin recovery.
For those of you that know our Mom, you know she is a hard worker, fun and always putting people before herself. For those who don’t, she is the strongest and most independent woman I know and it is going to be a very challenging few months to recover and try to get her life back on track.
Mom was self- employed, running a food truck along with her brother. For obvious reasons, she will have to give that up, and won’t have an income for some time.
With your amazing support, we’re hoping to raise money for the equipment she needs along with some renovations in her house so she can safely move around, sleep and shower.
Anything you can give will help in purchasing the following;
· Accessibility ramp to the front door
· Bathtub with door ($3,500 - $5,000)
· Artificial limb (Price Range $10,000 - $100,00)
There are many other things needs so she can eventually move around the house and reach all the cupboards but this will be a start to getting her independence back.
If you know of any support groups, assistance programs or anything else you believe my Mon and family will find helpful during this time please feel free to leave a message.
We are looking to get started on the ramp and bathroom ASAP and the artificial limb as soon as we can.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and we will appreciate anything you can give.
