Hi all, I do hope your Life is way better than mine. My Mom Jerri passed away Sat 10/17/2026. As many know I have been taking care of my mom for 7 years and 8 months. I left my life in Las Vegas, A lot of friends, work and celebrities I got to hang with or worked for. Then in 2018 she had a fall and broke her pelvis. I was driving up from Vegas every week for 6 months to take her to the Doctor or shopping and other appointments. And then ended up losing my house and moved up to take care of her full time. She had some good days and some bad ones. Then in Feb 2024 she tripped on a parking curb on Camp Pendelton. She hit a piece of rebar on her leg and it put a hole there. She broke her wrist and smashed her face into the pavement. She had emergency surgery and was in the hospital for a week and sent to a skilled nursing facility for 2 weeks. Then a friend drove her back to SLC in her van. I started taking care of her full time every day after that.
I loved my mom and miss her every day.
I don't know what the future holds.She fell on Sept 25th. She has not paid any bills in over 2 months. We were going to go the day she fell but she fell and had to go to the ER. She never got better and 22 days later she passed.
With that said I need around $3000 to try to get caught up and pay as much as I can. And more to take care of funeral and any Misc costs. And a little extra in case other things happen.
So, if someone could give me a little, i could pay for some bills and other costs that are coming up that i do not have right now. If 100 people could donate $30-75 each, or anyone can donate anything I could get caught up and take care of everything. I am not going to have any access to any money for a few months I am told. Oh did i mention that I did not make any money taking care of my mom for over 7 1/2 years? That's why i am in my pickle right now.
I have tried to do everything i could for her and it has been hard with not knowing which mom I would get each day and knowing that one day it would be over. She was in so much pain and had about 15% of use of her heart, so the Dr said Sept 28th that she would go any time. For 7 1/2 years i have given up a lot, only been to see maybe 15 concerts, I only get to go to movies when she was ok or with friends etc... I haven't been on a date in over 8 years now. I haven't been able to work because she has not been doing well and there was no one else. Most times she didn't appreciate me and sometimes she did. Day to day i never knew which mom I will wake up to or walk into. Like one Friday she thought I was someone else and had left her on the floor for 3 days. It had just happened. She was in too much pain for me to help her up so I called 911 and they took her to the Hospital. It was that bad.
I am trying the best I can to not lose it and it's really hard. I'm struggling but don't let people see it. If you pray, please pray for her and myself.
Thank you all.
Life is hard. Then one day you hit a wall and find out some things are even harder than life.
