(SOS) Save Our Seniors is raising funds for our elderly friend, J. Thanks to the incredible support we've received over the last 6 months, we were able to raise over $37,000 to clean out his hoarder home and restock the basic living needs for the house. His home is now safe and secure, but the need did not end there. What J needs now is continued care and steady support so he can remain at home.
J needs more in-home care than he can afford on his own. He spends much of the day alone until I am able to get there in the evening, and that lack of care and human company is taking a toll. We promised that when I found him and started helping him, we would do everything we could to keep him in his home as long as possible. We are trying to keep that promise.
Without more support, we are faced with having to talk J into selling his home to pay for assisted living and moving into a facility where he may not be able to bring his two cats, Pebbles and Key. Staying in his own home matters deeply to him, and so does staying with the cats he loves like they are his children.
J is also the reason why our community organization, SOS Save Our Seniors, got started! His situation opened our eyes to how many seniors in our community need help, care, and advocacy. Right now, though, J’s own care needs to be stabilized before we can continue that mission and help more seniors the way we had hoped.
Donations will help cover the ongoing costs that make it possible for J to stay safely at home, including caregiving, respite care, groceries, medical bills, veterinary care for Pebbles and Key, utilities, insurance, senior day care center fees, legal fees, home cleaning services, and yard maintenance. Predictable recurring donations would be especially helpful because these needs continue over time, but one-time donations are also deeply appreciated and will make a real difference.
If you are able to give or share this fundraiser, thank you for helping J stay in the home he wants to remain in, with the care, companionship, and stability he needs.
