Following. A good reminder for why I am committed to mustachianism and minimalism!
My main stories I've seen have been through work- I work with medically fragile children, and the impact on families is huge. Even WITH in-home nursing support, these families tend to have a primary caregiver (it's always Mom, in the homes I've been in), who can no longer work because of the care requirements. Every single one of these families struggle with money. And in ways you may never think of- I know of two different families who are living in hotels, because their home are not accessible or large enough for all the equipment required for a child with acute medical needs. Have you ever considered the ADA accessibility of your home? Is your hallway wide enough for a hospital bed and a ventilator to move through? "A new home" is not an easy insurance claim to make.
I've worked with medically fostered children who were placed simply because there was no way for their parent (all single parents in theses cases I've seen) to care for the child. THAT'S a rough thought- losing your kid, simply because you don't have the financial capacity and community support to provide life-sustaining care for them.
