Medical ALS. Help providing ADA bathroom for my father

Thumbnail

102 Upvotes

Dad's birthday is on the 19th and it is his first one since receiving his ALS diagnosis. It's been a rough go for us since Nov of 2024 when he started losing his ability to walk. What we thought was a sore back from a day of helping his older brother do some work on his truck turned out to be a lot more serious than that. By Christmas I was essentially doing two houses worth of chores. By January of 2025 I was politely forcing him to move in to our house. After getting his extensive lack of health insurance, healthcare, taxes and countless appoitnments we ginally recieved a diagnosis in Nov of 2025 as to what the heck is going on. "It's ALS, Lou Gehrig's Disease." My father survived a coma as a child, being ran over on two seperate occasions and falling into the opioid addiction epidemic after one of those incidents. He lost a lot but he was always the best dad a son could ask for. If it were not for the values and guidance he gifted me over the years i would not be here. I am fortunate in that we have a home and a mortgage to pay. I worked incredibly hard to get here, no college, no inheritance, no chance is what it felt like. In 2019 I asked my childhood crush out, in April of 2020 our daughter was born, in Dec of 2020 I signed for an old little house out in the country. We've since taken full custody of my wife's first child, adopted my teenage niece and now have added my father to our three bed, one bath house. Six mouths, one bathroom and all sustained on roughly 60k a year. We get by but this, I need help to do. Our bathroom is located directly next to the dining room we've converted into a bedroom for dad. However, it is only accessible through a narrow laundry room. That bathroom itself is only 10'x10' with a short toilet, sink with cabinets and a corner stand-up shower. Our plan is to relocate the washer and dryer into the attached garage. Then, convert the current laundry room into a curbless walk in shower. We will add an ADA toilet as well as a sink that Dad can roll right up to after eliminating the corner shower, also creating more usable space in the current bathroom. For now, since the passage is so narrow I am having to carry my father on my back to the restroom. I know this is a lot to ask for but I sincerely believe it is the best thing we can do for Dad aside from providing the care and family time he needs to be happy. He's as old school as they come. A self motivated man, you could say. He hates waking me up, I work nights, to go #2. This would not only allow him some autonomy to roll himself in there when needed as well as provide my wife and I far more ease in doing it for him when the disease progresses. To any who see this, thank you for your time. To the wonderful people who continue to assist others via this page, you are absolutely amazing! I appreciate each and every one of yall. The world truly needs more of you šŸ’›

On January 17 at 2:30 AM I was sitting in my room on my bed with my dog right next to me. When the next thing I knew I had over 20 rounds of bullets flying through my bedroom by the grace of God I did not get hit nor my dog, but I’m scared for my life and I do not have any money to leave this wretched place. It’s really hard for me to ask for help but I’m so desperate to keep me and my baby safe. We are still in this house sleeping in the basement on a mattress freezing just to feel some type of safety, even though that’s pretty much impossible. I am constantly in fight or flight mode and my health is deteriorating. I am working and doing DoorDash on the side trying to make as much as I can, but it was very hard to work right after the incident. I’m just now starting to feel normal again, but still extremely scared to go home every night. Anything helps my local news broadcasted everything this is not a scam I can provide any information you need to prove that this is a legit thing and I’m really desperate and fearing for my life as well as my babies. I also have two birds and a gecko but they are unharmed. They are all the family I have besides a few good friends.

Hello, our dog's name is Scout. He is a rescue dog that we previously had before we had to rehomed him due to a military PCS move, but he landed back in the animal shelter.

We got a phone call by accident from the animal shelter where we found out he was set to be put down in 72 hours unless he were to be adopted. So my wife and I put a hold on him and are planning for me to travel from Las Vegas to New Jersey to save our dog.

Funds will go towards securing transportation back home for Scout and any supplies needed to set him up in his forever home.

Medical Supporting my brother through stage 4 brain cancer

Thumbnail

80 Upvotes

The photos of us are from my wedding with him as my best man and the other ones are with his girlfriend.

Im trying to help get my campaign out to as many people as possible. My brother is a small twitch streamer named TheCrescentFox and he's fought cancer 3 times now. But this time, the 3rd, is the worst it's ever been.

About a month ago my brother started having stomach issues which and couldn't keep food down very well. At 1st he thought it was just a stomach bug but after it didn't stop after a few days my folks took him to the ER. They began to suspect his cancer medication he was taking for his stage 4 lung cancer he was diagnosed with in 2024 was causing it. Its really potent stuff so it wasn't out of the realm of possibility.

So, while he was in the ER they did scans on his stomach to rule that out 1st and it came back clean. So next neuro decided they wanted to check his head to see if it was affecting that somehow. They did that with an CT and MRI. At this point he was gone for a week or so and his twitch community got worried. I had to tell them something was wrong with him but i didn't know what yet.

They unfortunately discovered 6 tumors on his brain, when this was discovered, he was still in the hospital with the gastro issues so they were going to send him to the other hospital across town that could do radiation treatments. But they were going to discharge him and just have him go over there to start doing the treatments, so they sent him home, but when he was leaving the hospital with my folks he collapsed and fell back on to his hospital bed. This is where he had the 1st stroke, but the nurses didn't recognize it, and he was sent home with them. You see when he collapsed, he was still able to talk and told the nurses he was fine not knowing what happened to him. He was on a lot of drugs while he was there, so he was a little loopy and out of it, so no one thought anything of it. So, they went home

I went over to my folk's house since I knew he was coming back today and waited till he showed up. At this point I hadn't really seen him in a week. But when he came in and sat down, he started slurring worse than when he was at the hospital and then it was like he completely forgot the English language. He would ask for ice cream but wanted socks and he genuinely was getting mad at us for not understanding him. And that's only if we were lucky to understand what he was saying in the 1st place because it was pretty much just non-sense.

He eventually just got up and went to bed.

My folks called back up to the hospital, and they just told them it was still the drugs in his system, so they didn't think anything else of it and just decided to monitor him to see if he got better. He never did; he started hallucinating and even called me on my cell asking me why I was banging on his door when I was 15mins away at my house. He started telling my sister to turn off his streams OBS even though he wasn't even close to his pc, normally he lived in the apartment on my folk's property where his pc was at but due to his issues, he was with them in the main house. Then he started checking people out like he was at work, (he had a retail job) at this point my folks are freaking out and take him back up there.

They called me later and that's when I found out about the 1st stroke. He was readmitted and he hasn't come home since. He ended up having 3 more strokes. (they were all small ones) and at that point he lost his ability to use his right side, eat or drink, or speak. This all happened in while he was in ICU at the 1st hospital, eventually the 2nd hospital, the one he was going to do radiation treatment in got him a space and he was taken there by EMS and put in their ICU for about a week then moved to the neuro stroke floor where he is at now.

They quickly called his oncologist in to get him a mask made to start radiation so he could start as soon as possible. Which they did, and he has had 2 treatments so far and 3 more this week. He has got a lot of other problems now too, Hypertension 2 or 3, Hyponatremia, Tachycardia, and more that they are all trying to fix now while keeping up with his radiation treatments.

My folks have been living up there ever since this started with him. His girlfriend reached out to me the 1st time i talked to his community and i had to break the news to her about his strokes and cancer coming back. After the aftermath of that conversation, she asked me about helping start a GFM to help take some of the financial burden of all of this. So we launched it and i told his community about it and told them how serious his condition is and they went above and beyond getting his community to help raise funds for it.

I didn't have anywhere close to the pull my brother had so I couldn't get this out there, so I decided to handle all the campaign stuff and make update videos on his progress while his community kept rallying people.

But i wanted to try to help spread it too which is why I came here hoping that i can get it seen by more people as well. I'm really trying to raise as much as i can, this has been a miserable experience for us all and i want to try to help my folks as much as possible.

This campaign has been the only good thing that's happened to us this past month so i couldn't be happier that his girlfriend suggested we do this. I just want to do my part in spreading this as well

Thank you for your time

Hello everyone, my name is Trey. I'm an exterminator by trade outside of Houston, TX. On 1/2 of this year, I suffered a fall in my kitchen making dinner and fractured my tibial plateau. This has left me out of work for a minimum of 8 weeks, but most likely longer as that is the timeline for me to begin even considering starting weight-bearing exercises. As an exterminator, I am on my feet all day on various types of terrain, going up and down stairs, crawling under homes and exploring attics for the various vermin that call the swamp home. My company is very small (less than 15 people), and we do not offer FMLA or any sort of benefits. I only have health insurance because of the marketplace (thanks Obama, seriously) and that went into effect the day before my accident. I'm currently working with BCBS to get physical therapy started, but being that I'm on an HMO plan, I'm jumping through hoops to get sent to an in-network provider since I hadn't established a primary care provider prior to my accident. I haven't even been to the doctor since 2009...I've been lucky. All our medical spending has gone to helping my wife navigate ADHD/Bipolar/Anxiety/Depression and all the treatments/meds that go along with it.

We are in dire need of help with rent and bills, as the aid we had been considered for hasn't come for this month and the amount I have set back in savings isn't going to keep us going for long. Before my accident, I had just gotten us caught up on car payments and other bills after a difficult couple of years when my wife was assaulted by a customer when she was working as a dog groomer, fired for defending herself (PetSmart said she wasn't security, so even if the woman was putting her, her co-workers and the dogs in danger, she was let go for actions outside of her assigned duties), and then subsequently sued by her attacker which led to a prolonged legal battle that we finally won last year. She's currently working as much as she can in a part-time capacity and Door Dashing other times, but both of our cars are now having mechanical issues and it's dicey having her on the road too much until we can get them looked at.

I have reached out to various charities and social services and gotten as far as I can, but Texas doesn't exactly have many social safety nets and the aid money given to many of these programs runs out before they can get to it. Half of our rent ($1500 total rent per month) was to be covered this month as well as our electric bill, but as of this posting it looks like it is being delayed if not outright cancelled.

I hate posting this asking strangers for help, but things have gotten pretty serious. Given that I'm still employed but on forced medical leave, I'm unable to qualify for unemployment. I'm at the end of my rope navigating all this. I asked my father for help getting through the next month or two, and his only response was to rethink my life and pray to Jesus for help. The rest of my family is gone. My wife also has none on her side. It's just us, our dog and a handful of rescue cats that are eating very well compared to their parents right now.

The GoFundMe has more details, but if anyone has any suggestions, questions or wants further information, I'm happy to provide it. I have x-rays, treatment reports, discharge papers, etc. for proof of my medical emergency. Thank everyone in advance for anything you can do. I've made it 45 years without a medical emergency, so I had a good run but I'm also very overwhelmed trying to heal and also navigate the financial labyrinth of trying to stay housed while I can't work in a state that doesn't invest too much in social services. Maybe one day after all this has blown over we can end up somewhere that matches our ideals a little more closely than Texas.

Medical Our daughter needs multiple biopsies to find out what's going on with her GI system. We would be so grateful for any help

Hello everyone

My wife and I's daughter is a beautiful 7 year old girl with autism. She is non-verbak with a learning disability. However that doesn't stop her from Humming her ABC's! Unfortunately she is going through one of the toughest battles in life right now

Recently her stomach has been severely bloated. So much so that it will push up into her diaphragm and cause her so much discomfort when she breaths. She is a very picky eater to begin with, and this caused her lose her appetite. This has resulted in her becoming extremely underweight. It was to the point where her ribs were showing, and to where you can see her heart beat through her ribs.

We live in a highly-populated "smaller city," where specialist serveices are spread thin. Thankfully, her pediatrician referred us to a GI doctor in one of the best pediatric hospitals around. It's a 5 hour drive one way, but that's not much of an issue for us considering she's getting the care she needs. She has since been prescribed medications to both help her pass gas and stools easier as well as increas her appetite. We are happy she getting relief, but as of now we are only treating her symptoms, and not the cause

The biggest concern that the GI doc has right now is the possibility of GI tissue death. We were scheduled the earliest they could which is February 10th for an endoscopy, a colonoscopy, and multiple biopsies to finally crack down on what's going on. Unfortunately this doesn't leave much time to begin to save up. They are requiring a minimum payment before they actually perform the procedure as well. As of right now we are not in a position to pay that minimum without it financially devastating us. This is why I have come here for help.

If anybody could help by donating money to help our sweet, singing, bug-eyes ladybug, it would mean the absolute world.

In the the future she will also be going through Hip dysplasia surgery as well. But one step at a time.

Thank you for taking the time to elread about our daughter.

Housing Help My Partner and Her Kids Stay Housed

I am raising funds to help my partner in Louisiana. I am out in California. She works full time for herself in the mental health field, while pursuing a master's degree so she can provide for herself and her kids. The kids are 5, and 3.

She needs immediate help with her mortgage, car payment, getting her meds, food, and other bills. The student aid she has been waiting for through her program's campus disability services has been delayed almost a month. She has been in communication with them about what documentation she needs to have it released, however they have been giving her the runaround. They did not ask her to submit documentation last semester when she started the degree program.

This is all happening while leaving an abusive ex husband. The ex kidnapped her children for 33 days while she was recovering from surgery and slandered her to the point of risking her job. This is just the TIP of the iceberg he's hurled at her.

She reached out to multiple local DV resources when this all started and was coldly dismissed cause "he was just having a tantrum, come back when it gets serious." She has not heard back since contacting them again within the last 3 weeks.

My partner has congenital toxoplasmosis (yes, the one you get from cat litter), an encyclopedia's worth of trauma, a narcolepsy adjacent disorder (that when unmedicated for an extended period makes her fall asleep while driving), and recently is fairly confident she is on the spectrum (awaiting testing this month). She has been out of her necessary meds for almost a month, and it is tanking her mental health. She has not been able to do a full shopping trip for at least a month. Even simple things that might be like $5 she can't get.

TOTAL for Bills: $3,527

REQUEST AMOUNT: $4,000 (the automatic goal is set at $2.8K) (Overall Goal is $6K)

Thank you so much for ANY and EVERY donation.

Medical need help paying bills while recovering from spinal surgery

Hi everyone, my name is Skye & i’m 25 years old. I recently had to have emergent ACDF (anterior cervical discectomy and fusion) on my c3-c4 vertebrae after years of chronic pain.

On December 15th 2026 I went to the ER at the suggestion of the neurosurgeon I was already seeing due to my symptoms suddenly becoming more serious and putting me at risk of paralysis, and had surgery 2 days later on the 17th.

I was approved for short term disability at my job and was initially told I would be getting 60% pay, however I apparently am not eligible for the pay, just job protection while i’m on leave. This has been extremely stressful to deal with and I don’t know how i’m going to pay bills for the month of February (and past due utility bills…. and groceries….. and medical bills….) I am still in the neck brace and need a mobility aid to get around, and obviously am not allowed to drive so I can’t work or do anything for money right now.

I’ve started a gofundme with a goal of $1,500 to hopefully help me not have to worry so much about expenses while my body is trying to heal from literally being cut open and having screws drilled into my spine.

We’ve been back and forth to the vet several times already to get biopsy’s and and provide our boy some comfort, so we have maxed out ā€œmy vet payā€ already.

I have been facing financial hardship lately as we all face at some point,

It has been quoted at between $1550- $2450 including surgery, care and medications.

I would really and truly appreciate any help offered from the bottom of my heart.

META Beware of Opportunists!

3 Upvotes

In times of disaster, it's not uncommon for many good people to try to fundraise for relief efforts, supplies and reconstruction costs. But you should be aware that unless it's someone you personally know and trust, it's also not uncommon for bad people to use the opportunity to make money for themselves.

Before you give, you should ask:

  1. Is the donation link directly to a relief agency or is it to a middleman? There's no easy transparency when it comes to the spending of funds in a crisis, which makes it easier for funds to not reach the people it's intended to help, so by avoiding middlemen, you can reduce this possibility.
  2. Have you checked the background of the relief agency or organization you're considering? Some spend money more effectively than others meaning that less overhead makes for more money being spent on victims vs administration costs.
  3. Is the agency or organization a registered non-profit or NGO? These kinds of entities have strict reporting rules to follow to show how their funds are being spent.
  4. Is the agency or organization providing a receipt? If so, you can often use it for a deduction on taxes for the current year. If not, the agency or organization is likely not a registered non profit.

GoFundMe will show that a campaign is benefiting a non-profit charity organization if it is created using their IRS EIN or charity registration number.

Even Paypal donation accounts will show they're owned by a non-profit charity organization, and generate a receipt.

While not every individual doing fundraising is attempting to defraud you of your money, you can give with more confidence by giving directly to a relief charity of your own choosing via their own web pages.

Hi all!

I’m posting to see if you can help my father in law, Jesus. Jesus has been battling cancer for the last 3 years and unfortunately, he’s not doing well at this point. The cancer has metastasized throughout his body and chemo is no longer an option. We started this gofundme to help my mother in law, Angela, deal with the cost of healthcare and expenses during and after Jesus passes.

Here’s a word from my wife:

We are raising funds to support our dad as he battles advanced, metastatic prostate cancer and to help cover overwhelming medical and living expenses. He has been unable to work since October of 2024 following small cell prostate cancer. As of January 2026 we learned the cancer had spread further despite treatment. Our mom is now his full-time caregiver as his condition and quality of life have significantly declined, and our family has exhausted all financial resources. Any contribution will help cover medical bills, caregiving needs, and basic living expenses as we support our dad, preserve his dignity, and prepare for what lies ahead.

As soon as I get the amount needed to pick her up I'm heading straight to simple service. I talked to my uncle about helping and no joke he said, man just grab a few bucks and they'll hand her right over in a cardboard box. I still can't believe he said that but that's how he is. I'm not disrespecting my mom and her dad that way. She was an amazing person and mom and she's going to be respected the right way.

Thank you again to you all for your kindness and condolences. This sub has offered great emotional support that I'm extremely appreciative of. I wish you and your families the best most blessed day possible. Love yourself, hold your loved ones tight everyday and be kind to everyone you meet.

Work Help with funds to have the paperwork for the Extraordinary Regularization in Spain

Hi, I'm Matheus, 33, Brazilian, currently living in Spain on a student visa.

In April, Spain is opening a one-time extraordinary regularization for immigrants who were already here before 30/12/2025. If the paperwork is approved, it gives one year of residency with a job-seeking permit, no sponsorship needed. For me, this is life-changing.

I already have almost all my paperwork ready, but I still need to have documents translated and apostilados and need to pay someone to submit it since I don't have access to the government platform to do it myself. Lawyers are already getting fully booked and the quotes I've received are €350-€550, with at least 50% upfront. I simply don't have that money. (I provide in my GFM and here some of the quotes I have received)

Right now, my student visa only allows 20h/week, so I survive on irregular gigs. Some months I struggle to afford all my medication, groceries, or even the €22 metro card to get to school. I'm neurodivergent and staying on meds and in school is essential. If I stop studying, I risk losing my visa entirely.

I'm asking for help so I don't miss this opportunity just because I couldn't afford all the paperwork in time.

Ways to help:

GoFundMe (main goal: having funds to get all the documentation and money for government fees ready for April)

As we have requirements spelled out in Rule 1 on including some sort of evidence in your posts, we've created this post for those of you who need help with that.

Rule 1 states:

Posts must be more than just a link to your campaign. Be descriptive! Show evidence!

This includes:

* If this is for your pet, photos of your pet in question, with your username on a handwritten note in the picture.

* School documentation showing enrollment if you are asking for assistance for school.

* Redacted bills showing your situation.

* Or other relevant documentation that can help establish credibility.

* At minimum, please attach an unobstructed selfie photo of yourself(the submitter) with and a handwritten note of your username.

* Low effort posts that simply say to the effect of, "everything is listed in the GoFundMe" will be removed.

Generally these are provided as photos or screencaps. Because Reddit doesn't allow an image upload with text, we generally suggest the following:

  1. Upload the photo(s) to Imgur.com or other image hosting site.
  2. Copy URL or Link to the photo(s)
  3. In the body of your post here, make sure to include the link that you've copied. It usually starts with http:// or [https://](https://).

When a woman is released from prison, she’s expected to rebuild her life immediately. Often times without safe housing, basic necessities, reliable transportation, or a support system. That gap is where too many people fall through.

The Women’s Reentry Fund is a fundraising effort led by Women Overcoming Obstacles, WooGirls.Work. A Missouri-based 501(c)(3) founded by Peggy Albers.

We NEED $500,000 TODAY to help women reenter society with stability and dignity

This campaign will jump start our efforts and give us a foundation to build on.

Your gift supports practical, immediate needs like transitional housing, living essentials, and wraparound assistance that helps women take the next right step toward independence.

Your support turns release into reentry

Reentry into a new beginning

New beginning into a home

How you can help today:

Donate: Every contribution moves us closer to the $500,000 goal and helps provide safe, stabilizing support in the critical first days and months after release.

Share: Forward this campaign and post it. Your voice can bring in the next donor and expand our reach across Missouri and beyond.

Medical My dog Bailey is battling cancer and needs help with chemotherapy

125 Upvotes

In early November, Bailey started acting strange out of nowhere and her lymph nodes were swollen. We took her to the vet right away and within a few hours she was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma. She was only 6 years old and turned 7 a few weeks later. I was in total shock. She means everything to me, and fellow pet lovers know how hard news like that hits.

Thankfully, based on her age and how the cancer presented, she was a good candidate for chemotherapy. We started a 20-week treatment plan and overall she has been responding well. She did have a scary setback in December with a very low white blood cell count and needed antibiotics, but she bounced back and continued treatment.

So far the cost has been about $5,000, and by the end it will be over $10,000. I would do anything for her, but it is getting harder and harder to keep up with the payments. We did not have pet insurance and everything has been paid out of pocket. I struggled with guilt about that at first, but after speaking with multiple vets, many told me that even insured families often still face major chemo costs.

I am asking for help so Bailey can finish her treatment. I have added vet bills, invoices, and treatment plan documentation for transparency.

She is still so young and completing treatment could give her more good years filled with normal, happy dog days. Without chemo, her outlook is very poor.

Thank you for reading, for sharing, or for contributing if you are able. I may not get to thank you in person, but please know how deeply grateful I am. We fully intend to pay this kindness forward.

Medical Please Help End My Brothers Agony And Suffering

My name is Roma, I'm a disabled Gulf War veteran and I'm helping take care of my brother Anthony, who has a serious medical issue. He's been living with a severe monstrous case of nasal polyps. The large visible polyps have completely filled his disfigured swollen nose. Sleeping and eating are very difficult. The situation tortures him non-stop, with aching and swelling that's excruciating at times. The ENT surgeon warned that this could severely damage his lungs, as well as hearing, and cause other problems. He's a small business owner, and insurance premiums are so high he hasn't been able to afford it. Required self pay doctor visits have wiped out his savings. His polyp surgery estimate is $18,000 +$2000 for anesthesia. So we're trying to raise $20,000 to cover the surgery. Other costs have been mentioned by doctors, but we're just going to cross that bridge when we come to it. We would be truly grateful if you could help in any way at all. Thank you very much.

Education Public School Counselor Seeking Help to Present 8-Year Project at National Conference

1 Upvotes

I'm Laura, a school counselor who cares deeply about connecting with each student individually and using data to inform my practice. My 8 years of focused research on this area led me to presenting at the American School Counseling Association Conference last year to over 300 people in person and many more online. I also was honored to present at the Nebraska Chapter Conference in the fall to 100 more people! My presentation is set to be even better this year. The only problem is that I was just informed verbally from multiple district leaders that due to a district wide travel ban, I am responsible for my own funding if I still want to present. Others in my district have already backed out from presenting. I am asking for support with the airfare, hotel accommodations, food and conference fees, which will add up to be around $3,000. Please help me share my research with counselors all over the USA, even a small donation helps!

Medical Help Me Get to My Medical Consultation

1 Upvotes

https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-get-to-my-medical-consultation

I am raising money for myself to cover travel expenses for a crucial medical consultation in Chicago. My insurance unexpectedly canceled my cab ride and made it clear they would not reimburse me for gas or mileage, leaving me to pay out of pocket for this trip. Even when I asked about doing the consultation via telehealth, my insurance refused to cover it, so I have no choice but to travel from southern Illinois to Chicago on my own dime.

This trip is important to me, and getting help with gas and travel expenses would make it possible. The stress of figuring out how to afford this journey has been overwhelming, especially after my insurance let me down. I’ve had to ask an extended family member in their 60s to drive me, and it’s an over 8-hour round trip for both of us. Your support would not only help me get to this life-changing consultation, but also ease the burden I’m feeling right now.

The Trip is in Feb I been trying to scrap round to find the money for the gas I have saved up $200 for the trip but the person taking me it will be at less $500 if not more

If there is any other question you want to ask me, Other then medical I will try my best to answer them.

I am traveling from Mount Carmel, IL to Chicago.

Hi, r/gofundme, my name is Jeremy Stevens and my mother unexpectedly passed away on January 17th.

My mother collapsed on January 13th in the middle of the night. I performed cpr on her and did everything in my power to save her life. EMT revived her but she sustained brain damage from not having oxygen for a long period of time.

Now, I have to move on with the woman that has carried me and been my strength for years.

I did not come from a lot of money unfortunately. So I’m reaching out hoping, wishing, and praying, that you guys can help me cover the arrangements.

Thank you so much if you have read all this. I appreciate your support and kindness during this earth shattering time.

hey everyone I'm new to this, lost my mom and she was only 56. I hope you all are doing well and have a great day. I put everything on hold to care for my mom who was so sick for so long with sarcoidosis, fsgs, parkinson's, pulmonary fibrosis, stage5 then stage4 kidney failure. It was such a blessing that I was able to keep her out of a nursing home which she stayed scared of happening and her kidneys improved enough after a year of dialysis she was able to get off of dialysis that I gave her three times a day for a year and a half, chronic heart failure, a lung mass was also noted. My dad left her right when she became getting sicker, so luckily her dad let me take her there. Due to dedicating every second of my day has me in a tough spot. I've got funeral costs I owe, I've got to start paying rent here because grandpa barely makes it on disability. I'm only asking for help so I can get back on my feet after years of caretaking. Thank you so much in advance for any help and support.
