“When all of our needs are met, then may there be space for something beautiful to emerge in our dying”

FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS

EOLA&C Consultation Service includes, but not limited to, the following:

  • One hour of free phone consultation to meet and gain an understanding of your goals and needs.
  • An assessment and proposal is provided for your review.
  • Upon agreement of your proposal a payment is made to End of Life Advocacy & Care, which includes the first 20 hours of service.
  • You may use this time in a variety of ways: phone and email communications, logistical planning, transportation from the airport to your Portland home (if you are ambulatory), collaboration with your care teams, emotional, spiritual and bereavement support, practical advice, respite care, a Bucket List Adventure, support on your planned death day and more.
  • Once you have reached 20 hours of service, a second invoice can be arranged for an additional 10-20 hours or you may transition to an hourly rate at that time if you choose.

Clients generally utilize 40 hours of consulting service to prepare for their trip to Portland and through their end of life journey.

I recognize that financial situations vary widely. I am happy to discuss a sliding scale arrangement that aligns with your budget. My goal is to ensure that no one is turned away due to financial constraints.

My fees are calculated based on the following hourly rate sliding scale:
$100 / $150 / $ 200

To understand where you fall on this scale based on your financial resources and levels of privilege, I offer the following considerations. Consider paying the lower end of the scale if you:

  • are supporting children or have other dependents
  • have significant debt
  • have medical expenses not covered by insurance
  • receive public assistance
  • have immigration-related expenses
  • are an elder with limited financial support
  • are an unpaid community organizer
  • are re-entering the workforce and have been denied work due to incarceration history

Consider paying the higher end of the scale if you:

  • own the home you live in
  • have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money
  • travel recreationally
  • have access to family money and resources in times of need
  • work part time or not at all by choice
  • have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education or gender/race/class privilege. (Even if you are not exercising that earning power, I ask that you recognize this as a choice.)

I gratefully accept donations of any amount to make it possible to meet the need for this service.

I also welcome what we call “Creative Currency.” This means that we all have ways in which we can support each other in our community and this does not always mean the exchange of cash.

“Paying it forward” with skills, goods or services can have a profound and lasting impact on the community as a whole.
