I never thought that I would be in this situation but dad and I need help. A few years ago dad’s health took a major turn he started going blind and having serious health issues so I moved him in with me so he wouldn’t be alone and I could help take care of him because he was struggling to do it on his own. At first I was able to leave and work but the last year or so I have had to be home more and now he needs 24/7 care and I am unable to work. Dad has vascular dementia and is blind, he also suffers from incontinence, loss of muscle mass, anxiety and depression. In short the not so old man is a mess. I had made arrangements to have him put in a facility. Unfortunately, after I canceled his life insurance to surrender to the facility, he was denied and I was sent a bill for almost $4,000. It has been one struggle after another and I am starting to really struggle with bills, medications, funeral costs, everything.

I am not sure what else to do. Dad is a good man but most of him has faded away and I m sure you all have fond memories of him and he made you laugh at some point in your life. I wish I didn’t have to ask for help but at this point I have exhausted all of my resources and have no where else to turn.

Thank you all so much.
