My name is Vickie, and I am reaching out for support as I care for my husband, Jim, who has been living with dementia. Jim has also been a diabetic for 65 years, and his health challenges have made it necessary for me to leave my job so I can be with him full-time. We have been married for almost 13 years, but our story goes back much further—we first met over 49 years ago and reconnected in 2009. Since then, we have built a life together filled with love and resilience. Jim was always active in our community, especially with little league, and he has touched many lives with his kindness and spirit.

We rely on social security and supplement our income with small jobs like Rover and DoorDash, but this month we are facing a significant challenge. Our homeowners insurance and property taxes are both due, and we simply do not have the extra funds to cover these essential expenses. Keeping our home is vital for Jim’s security and well-being, especially as his needs increase. Once these bills are paid, I plan to include the taxes and insurance in our regular home payment to avoid this situation in the future.

Your support will help us stay in our home and provide Jim with the stability and care he needs. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for us during this difficult time. Thank you for considering our story and for helping us maintain a safe and loving environment for Jim.
