So.. I just had to go salvage all the food in the fridge at my mother's place, since it decided it was no longer going to be cold. We were able to save about half her food and put it into the drink fridge in the garage, but the majority was thawed and not able to be refrozen.

This is the second time that the fridge has had an issue and I am going to call about the warranty, but likely is not covered, like last time.

Her HVAC is still broken with a price tag of 1800$ for repairs and if the fridge needs replaced, that is another moderate expense. I have drained almost all of my wallets and I am out of real options to fund repairs. I will likely have to start pawning/selling things now.

I hate to be the guy asking for help, but if there is any out there, it is greatly appreciated in her time of need.


First and foremost, I want to thank all of the individuals that have helped out to-date!

My mother, Lori Duane, needs our support. Since May 2024, she's been bravely fighting stage 4 stomach and bone cancer. Despite the odds, she's exceeded her initial prognosis, thanks to a combination of treatments including immunotherapy, radiation, and alternative medications like ivermectin, which we're struggling to afford.

Current Health and Home Challenges:

Health: Lori is battling to maintain her weight, hydration, and mobility. She's currently on a treatment break to recover from severe side effects, aiming to gain strength.

Home Repairs: Her home requires urgent repairs to ensure her comfort and safety:

High Priority:
AC Repair: Needs coolant line replacement, duct board air return, and coolant recharge. We're seeking either affordable services or goodwill discounts.

Animal Damage: Soffit and attic repairs to prevent animal entry, including raccoon issues which are complicating insurance claims.
Chimney and Siding: Extensive repairs needed due to an old air handler setup and weather damage.

Medium Priority:
Gutters, privacy fence, AC line insulation, drywall repairs, and a bathroom remodel currently at a standstill due to lack of funds.
How You Can Help:

Personal Note: This post might surprise Lori as she finds it hard to ask for help, but I believe in the power of community. Her financial situation is tight with disability income not covering all expenses. Additionally, I'm facing significant personal dental costs and recent financial setbacks from a car accident, making our situation even more challenging.

Our Goal: To make Lori's home life as comfortable and safe as possible during her treatment, and to spend quality time making memories, especially with the anticipation of her first grandchild this December.

Thank you for any help you can offer. Sharing this post could lead to the support we desperately need. Let's show Lori the strength of our community's love and support.
