Brain Illness, losing home, HELP

Donation protected
My Cousin, Rebecca McSwain Roberson is about to lose her home in Calhoun, GA because she has not been able to keep the mortgage current.  Her husband, Jerry Roberson, has  Lewy Body dementia (http://www.lbda.org/category/3437/what-is-lbd.htm) and his health is rapidly declining.  She quit her job to take care of him at home after it became too much for her mom to do so.  Her Mom left her home in Tennessee to stay them and help out so Rebecca could keep working.  However as the disease has progressed he is unable to feed himself, bathe himself, or go to the bathroom on his own,   Her Mom is a retired school teacher and because of her age started having difficulty taking care of him.  Her Mom  is still paying the mortgage on her home in Tennessee and has not been able to sell it.  The family picture I have posted is before the didease took over his brain and body.  In November my cousin posted that pic on FaceBook and wrote:  "Happy Birthday to my husband, Jerry Roberson! Many years of fun, travels, experiences, and most of all Love! If you could take just a minute to pray for us, because our journey now is struggling with a brain disorder, that is taking so much away from this brilliant man!"  The second picture shows a more recent Jerry sitting in his recliner after the disease started to take its toll.  I added a third pick showing his son's recent visit when on leave from the military.  In speaking with her she was telling me that she needs around $2,000 just to get current.  I am going to send her some money but cannot help with the whole amount.  I am doing this on my own as she would never ask for money for herself.  I set the goal at $5,000 to hopefully raise a little extra  money to help with future bills.  Beside money they need alot of prayers.  yesterday she messgaed me the following:  "I blacked out eating this afternoon, scared mom and Jerry. I don't remember any of it. My dr. Has been suspicious that I have RA, and I had a flare up this morning, severe joint pain and fatigue. I guess I had just hit my limit. Needing prayers."  If you can't pay then please pray.  Any little bit helps her out.  Thank you and God Bless you.  My Facebook page can be found under Stephen McSwain living in Irving, TX.  You can find her Facebook page at Rebecca McSwain Roberson.
