Support and Financial Relief

Liz and Lenny moved to Michigan seeking better treatment for Lenny. It wasn’t even a few months before they found out that instead of treatments, they were going to be starting the hospice journey.

It all happened so fast. They got Lenny home and Liz had to go off work to care for him full time. They hadn’t anticipated the financial burden so soon. Lenny talked about how he didn’t want to leave his wife with a huge bill for his cremation. The thought of not being here to help her was creating uneasy feelings of financial stress. That’s when his social worker, Amanda P., reached out to the Elara Caring Hospice Foundation to see if we could help.

The Foundation was able to make sure that the funds for cremation were available to her when that time came. Lenny could rest easy on his last days knowing that this wasn’t something she was going to have to deal with. Through the generous support of Foundation donors, they were able to enjoy their final days together in peace.
