I am sorry I have not written sooner. We have raised $100,000 toward our $150,000 goal, and I am grateful to everyone who has stood with us.
For the past two years I have put my life on hold to care for Jason every day after his stroke. He has been through five rehab centers and many hospital readmissions. I feed him, change him, and advocate for him. His memory has not come back. He still needs pureed food and a feeding tube. His mobility comes and goes.
There have been terrible incidents in care — neglect, infection, a broken air conditioner that left him so cold he had to be hospitalized. His voice is almost gone. But when we play his favorite anime, his eyes still light up. When we hold his hand, he squeezes back.
Before this, Jason walked his dogs at dawn, filled sketchbooks, played badminton, and made everyone laugh. We will not give up on him.
We still need help covering the medical bills that keep piling up. Every dollar gives him a chance at comfort and dignity.
Thank you for standing with us. Judy & Family
