*We are hiring caregiving help on the days Cindy and Basi both work; so there will always be someone to help with Ping. We always welcome visitors, as it brightens Ping’s day. The other thing that would be the most helpful is meals/food delivery; as Ping is requiring a higher level of care than before. ——————————————————— Dear Friends and Family, Thank you for your continued love and support for Mama Ping during this incredibly difficult time. As many of you know, Mama Ping is courageously battling Stage 4 metastatic lung cancer. Unfortunately, Mama Ping continues to have a significant amount of weakness, balance and memory issues post radiation and stroke. She is now fully dependent on others for assistance with her activities of daily living. This journey has been a challenging one for our family. My sister Cindy has been an incredible support to our mom, managing all her medical appointments, coordinating treatments, and navigating the complexities of insurance and caregiving logistics. To help lighten Cindy’s load and provide much-needed respite, we’re reaching out for additional support. Here are some ways you can help: - Caregiver Respite: Spending time with Mama Ping and helping her so Cindy can rest or tend to other responsibilities. - Meals: Cooking or arranging for meals to be delivered. Gift cards for food delivery services are also incredibly appreciated. - Companionship for Mama Ping: Spending time with her to brighten her day by doing crafts, playing games (card games, Sequence, etc.), reading the bible, etc. - Errands: Assisting with groceries or pharmacy pickups. Your support, whether it’s a small gesture or a larger commitment, will mean so much to us during this time. We are also deeply grateful for your prayers for Mama Ping’s healing, strength, and comfort! If you’re interested in helping, feel free to sign up, or reach out to Cindy directly at cinlincinlin@gmail.com or 503-756-0660. She can help coordinate schedules and tasks based on what works for you. Thank you for surrounding our family with your care and kindness. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or Cindy if you have any questions or ideas on how you’d like to support. Love, Lily
