Medical Help for Alice
Donation protected
This is Alice, my grandma-in-law. She just found out a few months ago that she has cancer and is battling Stage 3 non-small cell carcinoma. Her condition has worsened since her diagnosis. Currently, she only has one inflated lung, due to the tumor having cut off the oxygen supply to one side of her lungs.
On top of being on treatment, she recently suffered a heart attack and a-fib, due to the strain of chemotherapy. As you can imagine, all of this has put a huge strain on her. She has to go to the hospital every day for radiation and once per week for chemo. Currently, her car isn't operational due to a rusted pinion bracket, which has caused the whole area to fall apart in some fashion that escapes me, due to not being a mechanic. On top of that, she has need of medical supplies. If that's not enough, her home is NOT winter-ready. There are multiple issues causing the home to be incredibly drafty and which are even approaching unsafe conditions.
As such, any money raised will be used for the following:
- The repair of her vehicle for transportation to medical appointments
- The repair of her home so she can live comfortably
- Purchasing medical supplies that she needs to manage her cancer as best as she can.
If you live in the Midland, MI area and can help with items, these are some of the specific things she is in need of:
Oxygen/heart rate finger monitor
Comfortable kitchen chair or small office chair
Frozen meals
Steam mop (less strength needed to clean floors)
Front door (contact for measurements)
Drywall/Subfloor and necessary extras to install
Windows, flooring, and other home improvement items
Gas cards
Car repair
She is one of the most kind-hearted people I know and is always the first to help out her extensive family, both blood and chosen. It's time to help her. She's feeling very overwhelmed and hates asking for help, but her sister's death last year (from the same condition) has put her finances in a huge strain, due to their having lived together and shared finances. All the money saved for home repairs went to her sister's funeral costs.
Please help Alice. If anyone deserves to know that people care, she does. <3
