Hello, my name is Dan. I'm 60 years old and had been caring for my 92-year-old mother . I loved her so much that I never would even think of her alone in the house unattended or in a nursing home. I was very close to my mother all her life, so I did not have an outside job for many years. My mother passed away on September 23, 2025. It was very devastating to me to visit her in the hospital for about a month and the final week and a half in intensive care. My mother was intubated that last week and a half and couldn't speak. Since her passing, I am dealing with deep emotional depression. I am a religious man and am praying God will heal me from my deep sorrow.
I lived in my mom's house, and she was paying the mortgage and utilities. She lived on a fixed income and was making monthly bills. Mother had a strong religious faith all her life. I need anything you can spare to help in my situation. I am in desperate need and do not have any job skills to fall back on. I suffer from lower back arthritis and right knee that limits my physical abilities. I am a good person; I do not smoke or drink and have never used bad drugs all my life. I feel right now so devastated and scared. I ask you to please help me out now and give me some needed funds to carry on. Please understand my situation. This overwhelming feeling of hopelessness has broken me down. Please, I ask, anything you can spare will be very much appreciated. Thank you all for your time.
