I do have a very large conflict that I was wondering if you knew of any way to help. I will be inpatient for about a month, and then move over to the Villages at Vanderbilt to live for the following 2 months. They require a caregiver for myself, and for Skylar (my 14 month old girl). We have all but run out of money to hire someone to watch Skylar during the day, and all of the charitable organizations I applied for have run out of money for the year. Is there anyone who would be willing to help out by giving time, funds, etc? Maybe a fundraiser event? I hate to ask, but we are in dire straights and have exhausted all of our family here. Any ideas would be great.
I do have a paypal account if anyone would like to donate, there is a "Donate" button in the right-hand column.
Thanks, hope you are doing well and having a wonderful holiday season!

You can be my first guest! I want to get in touch with you and I only have Katina's number saved in my phone.
I want to buy lunch sit down and talk with you. Can we get together next week while I am off? Send me a comment when you can.
Sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing. It's terrible that you have to struggle with this issue on top of treatment. I don't know what resources you've checked out but here is a blog post that just came up today with information on financial assistance. Maybe one of these would be able to help you out.
Stay strong!
