Have had the privilege to spend some time with writer, actor, comedian and activist Lizz Winstead through mutual friends over the years -- and was very sad to read on Twitter that her sister Mary is in the late stages of ALS. (The death of a sibling is a pain like no other.) As we all know, the U.S. health-care system is broken -- so anything you could do to help the Winstead family out would be greatly appreciated. View the heartbreaking GoFundMe HERE.
THREAD: Friends. This is my sister Mary. Last month I came to MPLS to become one of her caregivers during her late stage ALS. Here is the harsh reality. Insurance/Medicare doesn’t cover any of her end of life homecare so our family needs help. https://t.co/CoceILyOEc pic.twitter.com/qkmZeqvSaw— Lizz "Human Capital Stock" Winstead (@lizzwinstead) July 6, 2020
She should get home hospice involved. They will come into the house to monitor her sister. They also offer respite care to give the caregivers a break. They will take her into a hospice facility for five days every three months.
