My name is Sandra Robinson, and I never imagined that I would have to ask strangers for help caring for the two people who have meant the most to me throughout my life—my parents. My parents are getting older, and they now need more care, attention, and financial support than ever before. I am doing everything I can to be there for them, but the expenses have become difficult for me to manage alone. Every day, I worry about making sure they have what they need—food on the table, a safe place to live, transportation to appointments, medications, and the care they deserve. I want their remaining years to be filled with comfort and dignity rather than financial stress.
My parents have sacrificed so much for our family over the years. They worked hard, supported me, and were always there whenever I needed them. Now it is my turn to be there for them.
