Sometimes life changes faster than you can prepare for.

Over the past year, ongoing medical issues and repeated medical care have created a financial burden that has become increasingly difficult to manage. Hospital visits, medical bills, medications, testing, transportation and other necessary expenses have added up, while the ability to maintain normal income has been affected.

Some of these expenses have had to be put on credit cards simply because they couldn't wait. What started as individual medical expenses has grown into a much larger financial strain.

I'm not asking for help because I want anything extravagant. I'm asking for help getting through a difficult season and finding some breathing room while dealing with expenses that I never expected to face.

Any amount truly helps. Whether it's a few dollars or simply sharing this fundraiser with someone who may be able to help, it means more than you know.

My hope is to get caught up, reduce the financial pressure created by these circumstances, and have the ability to focus on moving forward rather than constantly worrying about the next bill.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, for sharing it if you can, and for any support you are able to give.

Every bit of help makes a difference.
