Support Grandma's Care After Accident

Hi everyone! I’m asking for your help in making sure my grandma gets the care she needs after a freak accident in which she lost a finger.

We have been fortunate that even though my grandma is 86 years old, she has been able to live a fairly independent life despite some chronic health challenges. That said, she and our family have had some bad luck recently. After nearly 70 years of marriage, my grandmother lost her soulmate, my grandfather, just last year. This has been devastating for her. Since then, she has had to see me through my recent battle with stage 3c breast cancer. While I was going through that, one of my uncles, a public school teacher who provides a lot of care for my grandmother, went through some serious medical challenges in which he both had to have emergency brain surgery and had a heart attack in the same year. All of this has taken a toll on my grandmother and on my family’s resources.

My grandmother is currently recovering from the surgical amputation of her finger. Because of this and her other chronic health challenges, she isn’t able to take care of herself. My family members and I all work full-time and some of us don’t live near my grandmother, so we are having some difficulty arranging for her care during the day. We have explored a variety of assistance options but so far, we haven’t been able to find much to help. We would like to hire a professional to assist with her care while my family members are at work and not able to take care of her. We want to make sure she recovers well from this amputation and avoid further injury to her.

Those of you who have met my grandma know what a wonderful, loving person she is. We just want to make sure she gets the proper care she needs and deserves. If you’re able, it would mean the world to me and my family if you could help.
