Hello friends, family, and strangers:

My name is Brian, and I am reaching out during a challenging time for my family and me. Recently, I was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) while recovering from a brain bleed stroke. As the primary income earner for my wife, two children, our loving boxer, and two cats, this diagnosis has brought us untold stress, due to both enduring my hospitalization and the unexpected financial burdens which followed from it.

Currently, my kidneys are functioning at just 11%, and I urgently need to have a fistula placed to begin dialysis. This procedure, along with other necessary tests and treatments, has exhausted our savings and any time off I have built up at my job. As we navigate this journey toward a kidney transplant, the financial strain is overwhelming.

We have always believed in facing challenges with faith and resilience, but the costs associated with my medical care are more than we can manage alone. That's why I am humbly asking for your support at this time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in our lives and bring us one step closer to ensuring I can continue to provide for my family.

If you're unable to donate, your prayers and sharing our story with others would mean the world to us. We are grateful for any support you can offer during this difficult time.

Thank you for being a part of our journey and for your kindness and generosity toward our family.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Gano Family
