“Thank you just doesn't seem like the appropriate words. I received the grant at a time in my caregiving journey that was so needed. You see, I have a momma like so many others. She is amazing, kind, witty, full of integrity, humble, will give(which I got often) the right amount of love and discipline I needed growing up. We lost my dad in 2017 very unexpectedly after 58 of marriage and she lost her earthly soulmate. And that is when her decline started. I , along with my siblings have stepped in, stepped up and helped with her life. The help is getting bigger and more daunting with each passing day. I am beyond grateful there are a few of us kids, so we are able to bear the load and share in our concerns, fears and unfortunately heartache. The way I see it, I will do what ever I can to help her in this last chapter of her life. She is the glue in our family and I love her like a daughter only should. So, thank you so much for the grant, for the Christmas card and for the ongoing resources for our future.”
