Good news. Because of your gifts ($538 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Christopher?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about part-time carer (eight months), advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
I hope things turn around soon!
Does the money go straight to the care agency or to you?
I pay the care agency and post the receipt here so you can see where it went.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Take care
Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Michigan. I'll ask around and let you know.
So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
