Emergency Fund: Matthew's Heart Failure & Family Lifeline

My name is [Tracie Gass, and I am writing this to ask for the kindness of strangers. My husband, Matthew, has been diagnosed with severe heart failure. Because of his condition, he is physically incapable of working. I am also unable to work, as he requires full-time, round-the-clock care that I provide.We have two young daughters. Because neither parent can work, our current household income is $0.We are a proud family, and we chose not to share this on our personal social media to protect our daughters' privacy during this incredibly vulnerable time. However, we are out of options. We need exactly $5,000 to bridge the gap while we wait for emergency state aid to process.Where your money goes:Rent & Power: $2,500 to ensure our daughters do not lose their home.Food & Essentials: $1,500 for groceries and basic needs for the girls.Medical Expenses: $1,000 for Matthew's heart medications and transport to appointments.We will post regular updates regarding Matthew's medical milestones. Every dollar from a kind stranger keeps our family safe for another day. Thank you.
