Hi Yana, sorry to hear that you are experiencing a tough time with a family member who is ill. If the person is elderly, what they may need is a companion/caregiver/PSW who can visit and be with them. It;s wonderful that you wish to make them happy but bear in mind that if they are not well, they may not have the energy to care for another being. Let them know that you would like to gift a pet and if they say, yes, that would be a beautiful gift to give. t's hard and unfair on the pet if your family member cannot properly care for them. Wishing you all the best in finding a solution. Big hug, xx
