Hi everyone,

First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude for all the generosity, love, and support you’ve shown for my mom and Terry. Your donations, shares, and kind messages have truly made a difference in their lives during this difficult time.

I wanted to provide an important update regarding the fundraiser. Per the advice of their social worker, and at the request of my mother, in order to ensure that my mom and Terry remain eligible for hospice care and other essential benefits, we are making a necessary change to the recipient of this fundraiser. Moving forward, I will be listed as the recipient instead of them. This adjustment is purely for technical reasons, as direct financial support to them could impact their eligibility for critical services.

Please know that every dollar raised will still go directly toward supporting their expenses—including medical costs, household necessities, and any other needs that arise. I will be managing the funds on their behalf to make sure they continue receiving the care and support they need.

I appreciate your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thank you all for standing by our family during this time—it truly means the world to us.

With gratitude,

Michael McGary

Hi everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who has supported my mom, Bobbi, and my stepdad, Terry, during this incredibly difficult time. Whether you’ve donated, shared the fundraiser, or sent kind words and prayers, your generosity and support have meant the world to our family. It’s been a tough road, but knowing we have so many people standing behind us has brought so much comfort.

I was fortunate enough to fly up to North Carolina for five days to visit them and help out in any way I could. Thanks to funds that were sent directly to me for the trip, I was able to make a real impact while I was there. I used the money to buy groceries and household supplies, refill propane tanks, fix a gas leak, and purchase an air purifier for Terry to help with his breathing. I also helped my mom navigate the process of applying for hospice care for Terry, which was one of the most important things we needed to get done.

I’m also happy to share that Terry now has his BiPap machine and has been using it nightly, as well as throughout the day as needed for therapy to help his breathing. This has been a huge help for him, making it easier to rest and manage his condition at home.

Thankfully, Terry is now fully covered for all hospice care and has been receiving care since March 10. This is a huge relief for our family, knowing he will have the support and medical attention he needs during this time.

Beyond the logistics, I’m just so grateful that I got to spend time with my mom and Terry. It’s been an incredibly stressful couple of months for my mom, and I was happy to be able to get her out of the house a few times, even if just for a change of scenery and a mental break. She has been so strong, but I know how much she needed even a little bit of respite.

Again, thank you all for everything you’ve done to help. Your support is making a real difference, and our family is beyond grateful. Please continue to share and spread the word—it truly means the world to us.

With gratitude,

Michael McGary
