Support Val's Hospice, Death w Dignity, & Return to Ohio

Donation protected
Valerie has lost her battle with multiple myeloma and is now at home in hospice care. We have begun the 15 day waiting period for the use of life ending medications through Oregon's Death With Dignity act.

Thanks to good insurance, we don't have huge hospital bills, but insurance won't cover the DWD prescription (about $800 delivered) or CNA assistance during hospice (who knew?). With Valerie paralyzed, and my poor bone density, I need help providing care until she passes.

Then there is acting on her final wishes: Cremation and returning her ashes to the family farm in Ohio, where she wants them to remain. Travel, etc. You get the picture. We appreciate your help.
