Just a few years ago, my Aunt Linda was taking care of the finances for my 92 year old Grandmother who could no longer care for herself. My Aunt is the last person to ask for financial help from family and friends, but now her and her son are struggling to pay for groceries, due to their unfortunate ailments.

My cousin remarked recently that, "being disabled and on hospice is more expensive than you will ever know." My Aunt and Cousin are both bedridden and on disability. My Aunt Linda suffers from Peripheral Neuropathy, fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis and more. My cousin Sam has Hidradenitis Suppurativa, fibromyalgia, arthritis, several crushed vertebrae, and getting leg wounds cared for 3x weekly by home health nurses. They currently are struggling to pay for groceries, necessities, and healthcare. Sam uses a wheelchair 95% of the day and has been sitting in a catastrophically broken desk chair for 2 months and could desperately use a bariatric desk chair built to his body size.

Allowing them to afford groceries and medical necessities will greatly aid them in the coming year and make 2024 and much easier year to bear.

Thank you for your consideration.
