Three weeks ago my grandmother (who lives with us) tripped and fell on the floor, suffering a serious hit that left her unconscious. She had to stay in the hospital for almost two weeks in order to check she hadn't suffered serious harm and possible complications from the hit (apart of healing an infection she developed during her stay). She was released past week and while she didn't suffer further complications her condition hasn't gotten much better.

The hit and her stay at the hospital have ended worsening his previous condition. She wasn't already moving around too much (and always with the supervision and help of my mother and myself) and now she can't move at all and we have to move her around in a wheelchair. Worst of all, her mind has taken a bad turn. While conscious, it's clear she's lost some mental capacity (which is soul crushing for me as she's always kept a clear mind despite her age). The worst of it being that she's suffering post traumatic stress from the hit and she's obsessed with falling, crippling her to walk again despite not suffering physical impediments beyond her age and hip problems.

In the time she's been at home since released from the hospital she hasn't gotten any better and we're afraid she'll get worse unless we do something about it. She needs professional help and perform physical and psychological rehabilitation. The best option for us is to sign her up in a day center for seniors where she can be taken care of in the afternoon and performs the rehabilitation exercises she needs so much.

However, current economical situation is pretty tight already and a day center is expensive and not covered by out by our healthcare system. Also, she still has further needs. We've made calculations and the only option is to split expenses between everybody in the family. According to our calculations, everybody should contribute with around 300€ each one so we can cover all the expenses of my grandmother's rehabilitation (the day care center, transportation, medicines not covered by insurance, diapers, healthcare appliances she might need...).

Sadly, I'm the one who has it the hardest to help... I'm currently unemployed and barely covering bills with freelancing translation works and story commissions, 300€ is an amount I can't come up by myself, even less in a short period of time.

So right now I'm just left with the option of asking all of you for help. I know everybody have troubles of their own but I can't think up of any other option at this moment. Any help you can send me will be welcomed and put in well use to help my grandma and my family.

However, I'm not intending to ask for help without giving something back. Although sadly I can't give you good arts, I'm opening story commissions once again to anybody who's interested in getting a story of their liking. My usual fare is 10~15€ per story and I'm open to any sort of story and any lenght you wish for it. If you're interested hit me with a private message and we'll discuss the details.

And if you're not interested in stories or don't want (or can't) spend too much, you can alternatively make a donation instead. Anything you can send is welcomed.

Again, I'm not happy to ask for help but I don't have many options left. My grandmother is one of the most important persons in my life, she was my mother when my own mother wasn't and if her current situation crushes my soul the idea of her situation worsening and losing her is simply something that I can't even bear to think about.

So please, if you can spare a few bucks for helping my grandma, please do it. You'll always count with my eternal gratitude and someday I'll be able to return your kindness in some way when you need it.

Many thanks in advance to all those who'll lend a hand. God bless your souls.
