It is extremely hard to be the caregiver of family members, especially when they are so far away. My mother is in the hospital awaiting the diagnosis of a long over due situation she has had for some time now. Even though she has been strong in taking care of my dad, time and her medical condition has eventually caught up with her. I would not normally ask for anything from someone else but I am at the bottom of my cookie jar and it is empty. My mother still needs medical attention and needs help. If you feel it in your heart and can afford to help out, it would be deeply appreciated. Thank you! Ruth and family
