Our Story – Asking for Help During an Extremely Difficult Time

I never imagined I would find myself in a position where I would need to ask others for help, but life has thrown more at me and my family than we ever expected.

It all started with an eye injury that required surgery, which unfortunately came with complications. Since then, my health has continued to decline. For months, I've been sick, struggling with symptoms, and have lost over 100 pounds. There is a suspicion that I may have celiac disease, but I'm still waiting for the testing needed to get an official diagnosis. Unfortunately, without insurance, I simply cannot afford the testing I need to get answers. On top of that, trying to get the proper foods my body may need has become another financial challenge. Special dietary foods can be expensive, and making sure I have access to what I need while already struggling financially has been incredibly difficult.

I've seen several doctors, hoping someone could figure out what's happening, but so far, we are still searching for answers. On top of everything else, I'm now experiencing severe headaches, dizzy spells, pressure throughout my head, and pain where my skull meets my neck. Each day brings new challenges, and not knowing what's wrong or when things might improve has been physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting.

Unfortunately, the impact hasn't stopped with my health. My job has gone from full-time to part-time because I've missed so much work due to being sick and trying to get medical care. This past week, I was only able to work 7 hours. Losing those hours has put our family in an incredibly difficult financial situation.

We are now struggling to keep up with multiple medical bills, everyday household expenses, and overdue bills. My vehicle also needs repairs, adding another unexpected expense when transportation is already so important for getting to medical appointments and work.

I'm doing everything I can to keep pushing forward, find answers, get better, and continue providing for my family. But right now, we have reached a point where we simply cannot do it all alone.

I'm asking for help to ease some of the financial pressure while I continue trying to figure out what's happening with my health. Donations will help with medical expenses, necessary testing, special dietary food, overdue household bills, car repairs, and basic living expenses while I work through this difficult time.

If you are unable to donate, sharing our story would mean more than you know. Every donation, share, prayer, and kind word is appreciated beyond measure.

Asking for help isn't easy, but right now, my family needs it. We are just hoping for some breathing room, answers about my health, and the opportunity to get back on our feet.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read our story and for helping us through one of the hardest chapters of our lives. ❤️
