Bridge the Gap for Michelle's Care

Michelle Kaczynski is my ex-wife of twenty-three years, my friend of over forty years, and was my business partner in Kaczynskl Reporting, a court reporting agency that we had operated together since 1993. In 2018, Michelle received a diagnosis of early onset dementia/Alzheimer's disease, and after a valiant struggle to remain living independently, she entered assisted living in November of 2019. The facility she is at, Rogerson House in Jamaica Plain, has provided first-rate around-the-clock care, but the sad reality is that we are running out of money to keep her there. We sold her condominum, and she is down to very little in the way of assets. I am her health care proxy and have been handling her affairs for her, and I have applied for MassHealth/Medicaid on her behalf as well as visiting and applying at long-term care facilities that will accept Medicaid. We are still waiting on approval from Medicaid, and there is a waiting list at every single facility I have looked into, and while that could change in a heartbeat, we need funds to bridge the gap. Michelle receives disability income, but the total cost of her care per month is north of $10,000.

I am asking for your generosity to keep Michelle safe and in good hands until we can get her placed in a new facility. For those of you who have already donated, I offer my profoundest thanks and hopes that you will share this GoFundMe widely amongst your friends and colleagues.

Thank you for your consideration and your assistance.
