Help Tiffany with Daily Care and Van Repair

As I mentioned, I have had a great support system over the last 30 years that has helped me with this. Family and friends who either physically provided care themselves or helped financially by paying others to care for me. It has not always been easy—actually, a month-to-month, sometimes day-to-day challenge of arranging care—but God has provided in amazing ways. Recently, however, it seems the challenge has grown more difficult because some of those who have helped me physically or financially have sadly passed away, while others are getting older and facing their own health challenges.

I do receive some government assistance, in case you’re wondering, but as of now, it only helps cover 20 hours a week of caregiver services. God has also blessed me with a job that allows me to contribute to part of my care expenses. Yet, even with these two things, the cost of paying for care is beyond what I can do alone.

That is why I am reaching out through this fundraising campaign to a broader community of supporters, asking that if you find it within your heart and means to help me meet this challenge of continuing to pay for care at home. Without the financial ability to pay for care, I cannot live independently at home and would have to go to a nursing home to receive the level of care I need.

As you can see from the title of the fundraiser page, I also mention helping with van repair. That is because the modified van I currently own is over 22 years old (I’ve had it for 19 years), and although it is in driving condition, I try not to travel any further than necessary for doctors’ appointments, grocery shopping, and other errands, as it has some issues. Additionally, the main modified part of the van—the ramp I use to get in and out of the van—has stopped working automatically and now needs to be manually lifted up and down, which is not an easy task. I would love a new van or a used one that’s still in good condition, but even a decent used one is around $50,000 these days. That being the case, I would love to raise enough funds to repair the ramp and upgrade some of the essential driving elements.

I have chosen to fundraise through Help Hope Live because the organization assures fiscal accountability for funds raised. You can be assured that your donation will be used to cover or reimburse medical and care-related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation (by credit or debit card), click the Give button. If you prefer to donate by check, instructions are available on the left side of the page under ‘Mail a Check’.

Thank you for your support!
