Mom and her needs

Hello again

I still have the campaign on and will have it going for another 2 months. At indiegogo.com/helpgetmomoutandabout

Now it has been very stressful, as I still have not paid the balance of this month's rent. And it is now the end of the month.

Mom has been in an OK mood lately. Very upset yesterday, and upset about no one else visiting her. My sisters, her brother, her aunt, my great aunt. etc.....

I do understand this. I see this all the time.

Now mom has a new roommate, and she has been in the room with mom for over a week now. Now this person's room has not been decorated. Her family has not even showed up to see her or make her area friendly, and decorate it. This is what it is like in the nursing homes. No one comes to visit. This women is not alone, in this. There are many, in mom's ward that have no one coming to see them. Mom sees this and is pissed off at her daughter's for not doing anything for her.

I want to take mom out and see things. To get her to specialists appointments. To get her to UBC for this trial that is about to start soon. For a new medication that is used to lesson the effects of Alzheimer's. I was informed about this by John's Hopkins University Hospital.

This is what the campaign is about. To raise funds to get a wheel chair van. To get mom out and around.

Mom is running out of some, if not all of her cosmetics and the PGT is playing god again. Telling me that I can only have a few dollars to get what mom needs. And as I have written his supervisor, that it is not even enough to get what is needed.

Mom is use to having a nightly spa treatment with certain products. Now she is almost out of many of them. She ran out of two of them tonight.  And a few more tomorrow night. Then what. Is the question I asked the supervisor in my email.

I am not sure what I should do. OK I am use to going without. But I won't stand for mom having to go without.

I guess it is off to the picket line, across the street from the PGT's office. I was planning on doing this again, anyways

So time to go, I need to get up at a decent time.


GOD bless and good night.
