URGENT! MY DISABLED NANNA/GRANDMOTHER (82 years old!) AND HER CARETAKER WHO SUDDENLY HAD A MENTAL HEALTH EMERGANCY NEED TO MOVE TO A NEW SENIOR HOME AND MENTAL HEALTH COMMUNITIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! (THIS MONTH!)

Funds will be used with housing care and other urgent needs for family in desperate need of financial help due to a sudden tragedy involving a mental health situation with her caretaker.

My name is Catherine C. (full name not shown for privacy reasons), and I have a disabled grandmother who I love dearly. She is disabled in both knees, and because of this, has difficulty walking. In 2021, she had an oxygen situation that left her in the hospital for 4 months, and ever since, she has needed an oxygen machine in order to sleep since without it she would die due to carbon dioxide poisoning (the cause of her being in the hospital in 2021 was a carbon dioxide/lack of oxygen situation that almost killed her.)

The situation that is currently happening, however, is that this month my family was hit with a tragedy that has left the person who takes care of her and lived with her in hospital care, so she needs to be able to move into a senior home as soon as possible (THIS month!) and we are struggling to afford to bring her to the senior community she needs.

My grandmother has depression, lost her veteran husband (due to a heart attack) in the 1970s when my mother was only a child, and because of this, she has a hard time finding community and needs care that requires lots of assistance due to her disability. So, finding a senior home community for her is vital and needs to be done as SOON as possible. So if anyone is able to give, you can help me be able to give my grandmother and her caretaker the care they deserve in this desperate time of need.

The one mainly taking care of her and (was) living with her is suffering from severe mental health complications, is in a hospital and was just admitted two days ago. So my Nanna needs to be able to move to a senior home/community and her caregiver is someone who needs a home as well once out of hospital stay and we need to be able to afford both methods of care.

I love my grandmother. I love my Nanna. I love my family.

Please help give her the good community and care support my disabled grandmother needs!

We need her and the person who was her roommate/caregiver to move into their own care communities as SOON as possible or they risk homelessness! Emphasize SOON, as the senior community we need her to live in require certain amounts of funds due to senior care being expensive, even worse now due to the economic climate where I live.

Please help my grandmother and her caregiver move to new apartments/homes, they have many needs and my family is struggling to provide said needs consistently (food, shelter)! My grandmother is someone who struggles to afford certain amounts of care and her caregiver recently had a sudden health situation that put him in the hospital and my family doesnt know how will be able to afford all of the care we need this month so we're in desperate need of funds.

We need your help with my family's living situation, we have been struggling to find proper care for my disabled grandmother for two years now and we need to move out VERY soon to help care for her and to help her past caregiver to receive the mental health care and housing he needs! Thank you.
