We were very comfortable, not wealthy by any means, just enough to survive comfortably. In 1994 we took in my father-law who had had a stoke. I was his nurse. taking him to the doctor giving him his medication. He was a joy and I had promised never to put him in a nursing home. In the next 7 years he had 2 heart attacks and 1 more stroke. We could no longer take him to the doctors, but we had the visiting nurse come every other day. He had become dead weight and it was getting harder and harder to take care of him
As a result, I have a herniated disc, and have 2 lower dis that started to degenerate. When he passed away in our home, the visiting nurses and hospice had really taken over. I miss him dearly, he was a great man.
I come to you to beg you for a cash grant so that we will not have to move until we are 62. We have already resolved to the fact that we will sell this home, although it would break my heart, we know it's enevitable.
Just let us keep it another year and 3 months and start living without that fear.
