Herb Heinz caregiver fund
Donation protected
[Dec. 30 update: Dear beautiful people -- We have reached our goal just in time for 2022. Herb and family are moved, grateful and humbled. Thank you.]
Please help Herb and his family cover the cost of round-the-clock in-home care for the next six months. Since late 2020 Herb has been in and out of hospitals and rehabs with spinal compression fractures, a systemic bone infection, and surgeries to remove sections of spine and hip -- all likely related to 22 years with Parkinson's disease. The hope is that with continued IV antibiotics he will become well enough to receive a hip replacement and gain back some mobility.

One of these nice round numbers will go to work for Herb right away!
$100 covers 1 day of care.
$150 covers 1 night of care.
$400 covers 1 week (4 days) of paid daytime care (loved ones take over the other 3 days).
$1000 would be fabulous.... as would $10!
But we thank you for any amount you can spare to help improve the life of this generous soul who himself has improved the lives of so many.
