(215 posts)Nobody here wants to see anyone struggling. Especially when there is a senior citizen involved who is often ill.
Like many others here, I truly worry about your mother. Does she have food? Is she safe in her home? Is she able to see doctors when necessary? Is she warm? Can she keep cool during the hot summer?
Many others have given you fantastic suggestions and hopefully, youve taken advantage of all of their suggestions to help your mother.
As far as political donations, youre telling us your mother cant see a doctor because she doesnt have money for copays. I fully believe that VP Harris would not want your money, even if its one dollar, if your mother is struggling. She would want that money to go to your mother. There are other ways to help the campaign without spending money. Just reach out to your local Democratic Committee, they will be more than happy to have you on board, with no cost to you. They might also be able to arrange transportation that you need to get to food banks.
The MOST frustrating thing is the economy is PA is absolutely booming. Biden and Shapiro have made sure of that. There are jobs everywhere. Ive talked here about a friend of my daughter in law who just started working at home. Customer service for a national drug store chain. Is she making six figures? No. But shes earning enough money that if you earned that, there would be zero worries about food.
In the past, you have told us about a DUer who always helps you. Thats fantastic. Maybe work privately with that person and they may help you gain permanent employment so that these frequent fundraisers arent needed.
