Please help Deno and Chyna

Donation protected
My mom, Chyna has devoted everything she has to taking care of my grandma whose mental health has been on a gradual decline. She lost her job because of COVID. My grandma’s health had gotten so bad that there was an ambulance outside her house almost every night from her falling but the hospital would keep sending her back home because they both have government funded insurance and in Oklahoma it doesn’t go far. My mom had to make the difficult decision to send her to a nursing home so she could get the round-the-clock care she needs. OUR FAMILY CANNOT AFFORD THIS. My mom has spoke to several social workers and has applied for all different types of government aid but her resources have been tapped out and now the home is sending my grandma back to live with my mom again. Let me further explain. My mom is in bad health herself. She has diabetes and her medication is $900 before her deductible (which is $6000) aka she doesn’t take her medication. Who could afford that? Trump or Phizer or whatever company is profiting off of poor sick people like my mother I suppose... Her dental implant just fell out after 20 years (her front 4 teeth) so she can’t eat which could send her into a diabetic coma and/or kill her. She also injured her back and desperately needs surgery. Before my grandma went to the home, my mom had to lift her from the bed to the bath to bathe her, lift her to change her clothes (etc.) and take her to the bathroom. She was doing all of this with a severely injured back. Our goal is $20k which I know seems astronomical but unfortunately, with our garbage healthcare system and the sad state of Oklahoma’s govt. funding rescorces, it’s not. $20k would cover: 6 months of rent for my grandma at her nursing home 6 months of my mom’s diabetes medication Getting her dental implant fixed so she can eat solid foods again roughly half the deductible she needs to meet to get her super imperative back surgery My grandma worked her fingers to the bone and was a union representative at an electric plant for 40 years but her pension barely covers her insurance premiums and part of their monthly rent in a humble home in Oklahoma City. PLEASE help us so we can ensure the rest of her days are filled with comfort and respect.
