I am fundraising for my 71-year-old single mother, Erica, who currently lives in pain 24/7. She urgently needs:

Simple things most of us don’t think about (walking to the kitchen, getting in and out of a chair, sleeping through the night), are exhausting and painful. Her mobility has declined dramatically, and with it, her independence.

With gratitude,

Katie
