Thank you for visiting this site. It means you are concerned about Sue Richards.
A number of us, friends of Sue, are organizing long-term financial assistance. We hope you’ll become part of our effort.
As you might have heard, Sue was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s. It is a progressive neurological condition that could eventually make things very difficult for her.
Lately, Sue has been having trouble with daily tasks we all take for granted, like walking and getting up from a chair. Her ability to use a keyboard has been severely compromised. That’s how she makes her living as a freelance writer.
Most self-employed people have no medical benefits or extra health insurance. Worse, governments in Canada do not offer support to people with disabling illness until they are without assets. Even when they do, assistance is meager and can be humilating.
Our goal is to recruit at least 100 big-hearted people willing to contribute $10 or $20 per month (or more if inclined) to help Sue through the coming stages of her journey. It is an ongoing commitment. We want to make sure she doesn’t have to worry about basic necessities while attempting to recover from this frightening disease.
A gratifying number of Sue’s friends have already signed up. But dozens more contributors are needed if we are to build a meaningful monthly stipend from numerous small contributions.
It isn’t necessary to know Sue to feel good about helping her. In coming years, many more Canadians will struggle this way as our population gets older. We, the more fortunate, must step in where governments refuse. We must ease the fear and suffering.
Please consider adding Sue to your charitable giving. She is community member who needs us. Her plight could be yours.
Helping is easy. It’s done through Paypal using your credit card. No Paypal account is necessary. Security is airtight. Good feelings are guaranteed.
Thank you for caring. This will make a world of difference to Sue.
