My dear friend has been the only caregiver for her elderly father during an incredibly tough four years. She’s devoted herself completely to his care, but things have reached a breaking point.
Her father is now completely bedridden and suffers from multiple serious conditions: advanced dementia, lasting effects from a stroke, and severe swallowing problems that mean he must be fed through a tube in his stomach. Recently, he suffered a devastating setback – severe 3rd degree burns. This terrible accident has caused immense pain, requires complex new treatments, and has made his overall condition much, much worse.
He needs constant medical help and special supplies to get through each day. My friend has carried this heavy burden alone for so long, doing everything she can to cover his mounting medical bills. But the costs–for essential care, medications, specialized supplies for his feeding tube and burns, and other uncovered expenses–have become impossible for her to manage alone. The recent burns have pushed her to the absolute limit, both emotionally and financially.
We have shared some of his medical details for you to have an idea of his condition. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference. It will provide crucial relief from this overwhelming financial pressure and help ensure her father gets the vital, ongoing care he desperately needs. Your support would be a lifeline to a daughter fighting with everything she has for her father.”
