<div>Just a daughter who made a promise to her mom to take care of her father. We were on vacation in Venice FL in April for my fathers 80th birthday present.  We arrived Wed and Fri morning 6:50am i heard him calling my name from other room he was having a stroke again, he had one 2 yrs prior to this one.   His right arm and right leg paralysed yet he was alert. I called 911 and did what i knew to do, pray. They got there and he then started not remembering things more so they said we are taking him to Sarasota memorial hospital 45min north of here they are a specialty hospital.  Being in a town not knowing anyone was scary for me. I had my 2 dogs with us so was neevous how to juggle all this.  I just wanted him taken care of and hopefully comeling back  home with me.  God always had me home with my father when medical issues happened with him, my trauma triggers happen on occasion cuz the things i had to witness happen to him, yet God was right beside me helping me keep it together. Months before all this he had 2 heart surgeries done, i praise God for Him sending us to even see his Cardiologist he is a Vietnam veteran so the va sent us surprise visit so God was exposing something that could have been deadly that was hidden. When he was in sarasota hospital I had to figure out him being transferred back to Ormond so this was the next battle, he went to brooks rehab a week later.  I left vacation early packed up rental house n dogs n came home so I had all his medical paperwork n va numbers for help there.   He did well in rehab.  The arm stil needs alot of therapy and his walking improved but stil needs 100% assistance with everything.  All while he was in the rehab I knew when he got out our current rental home wasn't gonna work for handicap access around n bathroom etc.  So I started looking for place for us.  Found one and purchased it said move in ready with upgrades done.  The shower was set up with grip vars already and I was able to get his shower transfer chair in there so thought my G9d this is perfect.  Well this home had alot of painted over n lvp covered up problems lurking.  This is where my dilemma is currently.  We hired a handiman for what was supposed to be a simple change the soft spots lvp and front door that prior owners broke the daybthey moved out, we found old termite damage so this led to a bigger job. Then found in my bedroom black mold in walls n some subfloors. Found some leaks in lanai and aluminum siding that caused leaks. Currently last month moved my bedroom out into the front of house living room and other furniture random places for now. All the floor is gone and walls in my room currently.  I think this was too much for one man to fix so I'm gonna hire a company to come fix it which will im sure be alot of money.  We already paid for repairs, lowes orders, electricians, handiman work in excess of 9000, we have one more big job to complete to make this place safe livable again I figured what do I have to lose by asking for help. I just want a safe place to take care of my father and give back for all he's done for me all these years. I promised my mom when she was going to heaven that I would always take care of dad not to worry about him, and now I get to live this out.   I've applied to the va for help and they only allow 120 a year for aa grant but its worth a shot.  If ya made it this far thanks for reading a quick version of my plea.  God bless you and if you can't afford to give please simply  pray for us
