Hi, many of you know Linda and Terry Truax. Either your child may have been in Ms. Linda's preschool class or possibly a student when she was an aide at St. Columbus. Maybe you worked with my dad at AT&T or Register. In 2023, a medical emergency led to both parents being hospitalized and then moved to a skilled nursing facility. During this time, we discovered their home was unsafe—electrical outlets not working, plumbing leaks, floor rot, mold in the bedroom, and no A/C or heat. With Terry's sleep apnea, the mold exposure was especially dangerous. The house needs major repairs, and my parents now live in an assisted living facility that allows them to stay together and supports my mom's memory needs. The home is also filled with boxes and items, almost hoarding-like, making cleanup a huge task and requiring dumpsters. The cost is now over $10,000 a month, and their finances are dwindling. My siblings, fiancé, and I have been working hard to fix things ourselves, but the repairs and cleanup are overwhelming and expensive. Anything you can give will help us make their home safe and support their care. Thank you for your kindness and support.
