  "account": "Residents in the Texas aged care community of Queensland are hoping to raise $750,000 to build a private aged care facility. Joan White and her husband Alan, known as Stumpy, have been married for 58 years and raised three sons while being primary producers on their property. Alan developed dementia and was moved to an aged care facility 120 kilometers away after Joan had a heart attack. The community lacks public transport and many residents use mobility scooters, highlighting the need for an aged care facility. The Texas Care Foundation Limited, a board of community members, aims to raise $750,000 to secure a 3.5-hectare property for the facility within the next 12 months.",
