My husband’s sister is now in a nursing facility and sadly, will never be going home again . With the state taking all but $40 a month of her income to cover the (insane!) cost, emptying her apartment and canceling all her subscriptions, accounts and services went to the top of her daughter’s list.

For us, this meant enlisting the help of a few friends and lending a hand. Physically, and emotionally.

It was a hard day.

And the elevator? Smaller.

This foldable cart from Amazon was a life saver. The amount of weight it held was surprising.
