Help Ellen & Bill C. get into a nursing facility

Donation protected
After having his second stroke this past summer, I became Bill's caretaker. I have been blessed to "be there" for my husband. In December of  2020 I fell, fractured my already  compromised spine. X-rays showed a suspicious looking mass in my right lung . Next... CT Scans  followed by MRI's  followed by PET Scans, followed by a Bronchoscopy (biopsies). Moffitt Cancer Center diagnosed me with small cell carcinoma of the lung. the fastest spreading cancer. The only treatment plan for such an aggressive cancer is chemo/radiation. Due to my other medical conditions, I was told that the treatment would be ongoing. I chose NOT to proceed with their advise and put my faith in God's plan. And.... I have a husband who depends on me for just about everything. I have since been diagnosed with another disease called Aspergillosis. Mold spores are growing in my lungs and airways adding more pain and breathing  problems. I will be having more CT Scans and IV Therapy beginning in two weeks back at Moffit as they will try to knock out this very dangerous condition that can be fatal if not cured. I am overcome with fatigue. Though I profess that "By His Stripes I am Healed", until that comes to fruition, either here on planet earth or when Yeshua (Jesus) takes me Home, I am at a point where I need to have Bill and myself in a ALF/nursing facility. In order to expediate this, as it becomes more urgent by the day, I must hire an Elder Law Attorney who knows how to get me Medicaid approved quickly. I am being told by Medicaid that the process can take up to more than a year.... and there are some "hoops to jump through" to get admitted right away in a facility. The attorney was recommended to me by a beautiful  Christian who knows his integrity. To have his representation, Bill and I are in need of several thousand dollars.... and time is of the essence. Caring for Bill and myself has become too much for me. Our best, if not only alternative is to get me approved for Medicaid as soon as possible and accepted into a decent long term facility. We have been blessed by a loving, merciful Father throughout our marriage of 26 years.  And it is our  prayer now that He will put the desire in some hearts to give what they can towards retaining the attorney. And for those who simply can not financially help, we would greatly appreciate your prayers. Both money and prayers are urgently needed. God bless you all with great health and His safety.
