Strangers Raise Money to Give 108-Year-Old the Proper End-of-Life Comfort

After 108-year-old Carrie Rausch was nearly forced out of her assisted living facility, her daughter and subsequent strangers decided to raise money to help her live her remaining years in comfort. Rausch’s daughter set up a GoFundMe page when her mother outlived her assets and could no longer afford the care she had grown comfortable with. The goal was to raise $40,000, which would cover one year of room and board at the assisted living facility. The goal was exceeded through the generosity of strangers, and all funds above the goal will be donated to Rausch’s church.
