Eldercare Bookkeeping
A Personal Commitment to Protection and Care
In the mid-90s, I was fortunate enough to meet a dear friend who is now 87, and her husband, now 81. Early in 2004, he embarked on starting a ministry and entrusted me to establish its 501(c)(3) and manage its bookkeeping—a role I proudly fulfill to this day, two decades later. As time passed and they aged, I noticed a troubling pattern: they became targets for exploitation and theft.
A poignant example was when a worker, under the guise of performing tasks in their basement, stole $17,000 from an unlocked safe. Another distressing incident involved a swindler who deceived them out of $40,000, promising a non-existent inheritance. Despite the perpetrator's incarceration, the financial loss was irrevocable.
Witnessing such exploitation of these genuinely kind individuals deeply affected me. Recognizing my unique position to help, I was recently appointed Co-Executor of their will, taking an active role in safeguarding their finances and offering them the protection they so deserve against such predations.
