End of life Expenses for Karen Gasteier Colapietro

Karen is at end-stage COPD/CHF. She is currently in the hospital on hospice. Doctors do not expect her to leave the hospital. She is surrounded by loving family who are trying to make her as comfortable as possible.

She has no life insurance and we are trying to raise money for her funeral services. We would greatly appreciate anything anyone can do to help.

Updates

Update #1

May 4th, 2025

Hospice has been activated for Karen as of Saturday 5/3/2025. She is on in hospital hospice, due to her difficulties breathing she cannot do in home hospice. She is very tired and sleeps most of the time. When she is awake she gets very agitated often because of the breathing difficulties. We love when she has lucid moments because she will look at us and talk to us. That is not often though. We know she can hear us so we talk to her all the time. We try to make sure she knows we are there with her and to keep her calm. I will post more updates as we have them
