DISABLED SISTERS NEED URGENT HELP; AT RISK OF LOSING CARE
Description
As sisters 10 years of apart, they grew up relying on each other for support, but the most difficult part of growing up together was watching each other deteriorate to the point when using a wheelchair was evident. Although it happened at a different time in their lives, it was disheartening for them knowing and witnessing what the future holds.
They were lucky enough to enroll in a government program which was designed to promote independent living for persons with disabilities. Unfortunately, that government has neglected inflation and cost of living increases for the past 10 years and hasn't followed through with their promises for the program. This inadequacy has fallen on these sisters to bear resulting in them having to pay out of pocket; accumulating major debt.
Their only source of income is a minimal disability pension. For the past 10 years, they have depleted all their savings, maxed their credit cards, line of credit and sold their wheelchair van. Presently, their finances barely cover their cost of living.
Their story has been featured in the local paper and news tv station.
These sisters are very proud, independent women who really don't like to ask for help. Unfortunately, they have fallen on hard times financially, starting before the pandemic (at which point it was manageable) until the pandemic and beyond (which has amplified the need).
They are sincerely pleading with any compassionate person to share in their plight and mission in order to help give any support in any way they can.
Hope we have somehow touched on your heartstrings and allow their cause to be part of your good deed.
