Don, I'm sorry to hear about your mother's struggle. You didn't ask for
advice on this, but: I don't know how close-knit PuPPy is, or how
personal you have been with them over email in the past. I wouldn't be
that detailed about my personal life in an email to Boston Python
members. Maybe I misunderstood what you were going to write.
About getting volunteers: it is difficult. I sometimes send out a call
for help, but it doesn't usually yield results. Sometimes I just pick
someone and propose that they do something. Sometimes it works,
sometimes it doesn't.
I've tried to be clear an explicit about what there is to do:

Let me know if you come up with anything else...

Working on a holiday-ish message for my PuPPy members. I do want to frame
my mother's stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis with something positive about
activating members as volunteers and organizers of our group.
Tough trying to bridge the fact that yesterday was likely my mother's last
birthday with a message that Rome rose from the ashes of Troy.
Before PuPPy, in Seattle there was SeaPIG. A few years back, I remember
BayPiggies almost stopped functioning as a community user group. I'm always
anxious about making sure my group continues after I'm no longer active or
I'm not able to contribute any longer.
Wonder if anybody has tactics and strategies to share about activating
members to volunteers and organizers.
