Help Kelly and her family with Accessible Housing
Donation protected
Hello! By contributing to this fundraiser you will be helping me and my family more than you could ever know.
I'm Kelly, I'm 37 and I have been disabled since birth but as of the last few years I have also been dealing with Pulmonary Hypertension. A disease that affects the arteries between the lung and heart. It makes it difficult to breathe and I end up extremely tired every day just from small activities like walking or making my bed. Despite that I have a lot of dreams and one big one is to live in an accessible home with my family and friends. The home I currently live in was great when I moved in but now the stairs, outside hill, shower and gas stove present me with some accessibility challenges.
My parents are retired and currently live in an old camper on a friend's property. This situation was serving them well but it was never set up to be a permanent. Both of my parents are aging and my mom is showing signs of dementia. My dad won't be able to care for her on his own for much longer and I feel we need to get them into a place that is big enough to have a caregiver come and assist and where I can help where I am able.
I wanted more than anything to become famous and repay my parents for all the support they've given me my whole life. They've worked so hard to make sure I wanted for nothing and that despite intense and visible disabilities, that I grew up to be confident and happy.
Now is the time for me to put this plan into action. This year has been so hard on everyone in multiple ways. For me personally, it was not being able to quarantine with my parents due to lack of room. Going through a chronic illness without being able to spend time with your support system is not something I ever expected to have to manage and it almost broke me.
When we are safely vaccinated my good friend and I will be relocating to Oregon and we will be looking for a place to purchase that will suit us all. I've made the current goal just 1 dollar so as to leave it open because I'm so grateful for anything you are able to help us with.
Thank you so much for helping me create this safe and comfy home and putting our minds at ease. <3
