This is my final update. Mom is doing better. I cant imagine where she would be without DUs generosity! She wasnt even functioning before the fundraiser. I am leaving the fundraiser up until October 20. This is a 5 week wait for moms Social Security and she could still use a little more breathing room and less stress. Whatever you can do in the week I keep the fundraiser up would be appreciated.
Hugs to all!

(65,156 posts)Its $2,750. I want to be transparent, so here is how I came to that number: I looked at the expenses mom has left for the month and if she will have any money left to avoid an overdraft cycle I want to get her out of.
So final goal is set and the fundraiser will be open one more week.
Thanks again all!

I thought DU would come through, but it has definitely surpassed my expectations!

(65,156 posts)Then one more time Monday. The goal and closing date are still set.
My mom is in better shape thanks to DU, but she is still a little tight until the 27th of October. I really want her to be happy. So I am bringing this up again. Monday remains the last day I bring the thread up.
mvd
(65,156 posts)That means that I will not be bringing up this thread again. Soon I will be posting a thank you thread to DU to further show my appreciation.
