Story
A devoted caregiver is in urgent need of support as she prepares to relocate her family during an incredibly difficult time. Her husband is battling multiple serious health conditions, including COPD, kidney cancer, and pancreatic cancer. With rising costs and a fixed income, the family has made the difficult decision to move into a more affordable apartment closer to loved ones, where they can receive the help they need. Unfortunately, the moving expenses are overwhelming. The moving company has quoted $2,050.00, and breaking their current lease will cost an additional $4,000. While the new apartment will significantly ease their financial burden long term, they need help getting there. The family’s income consists of Social Security, SSI, and Child Only–OWF benefits. They have reached out to local resources like PRC and Jewish Family Services—who have helped with groceries and gas—but financial support for the move has not been secured. The caregiver has taken steps to ensure her husband receives proper care, including signing him up for Meals on Wheels, and her son is stepping in to help as well. This family is doing all they can, but they can’t do it alone. Support with moving expenses would provide critical relief and stability during an already overwhelming time.
