How is Ivy doing now?
Sending good thoughts, Ivy. Hope this works out for you
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ivy?
Thank you. If you're in Shreveport I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ivy.
Sure. The biggest one is powered wheelchair, $5,000. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you the best, Ivy. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.
Keep going. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thanks for sharing this, Ivy. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Nairobi
Take care, Ivy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thinking of you and your family, Ivy. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together!
