My grandmother died on February 3rd. She and my dad had been living together, taking care of each other. Well, my grandmother had been taking care of my dad more, but for many, many years, for 30-something plus years, they were everything to each other. My dad is not well; he’s got dementia. He was a real bad alcoholic and drug user, and everything. Well, Grandma had a major stroke in front of him, and he lost it. He wound up in the hospital after he wrecked both vehicles, and he had to have one of his toes amputated. His mind just went. He is at the moment in a nursing home, trying to get help and trying to get everything.
I’m the oldest, I’m Roger Lee Fisher Jr. My sister Renee, she was the second oldest, she died a year ago of cancer. The youngest brother, Brandon, was a gang banger growing up. He’s like 8 years younger than me. He’s the youngest, but he ain’t young; he’s in his early 40s. He used Grandma, and he lived with Grandma too, and my dad, and they took him in and raised him. But he’s a selfish good-for-nothing. He lives in Seattle, Washington. He won’t help, he won’t do nothing. He’s very, very selfish and worthless.
I’m disabled, I’m on a set income, my dad’s on a set income, and Grandma was on a set income. We have nobody left, none of the family. Grandpa died years ago, and there’s nobody left to help or nothing. I’m trying my best. The funeral home is hounding and hounding me, and I can’t, I ain’t got nothing. I don’t know what to do. I’m living with my brother from my mother’s third marriage and just trying to do what I can. I just need help with my grandmother. We’re going to have her cremated, and the cremation and the storage fees are $3,500. God bless you, and anyone that can donate a dollar or 50 cents, it doesn’t matter. Any little thing will help. It will all go to getting my grandmother to rest in peace.
