I'm reaching out because my family is facing an urgent crisis, and we need help from people who care.

My dad had knee replacement surgery, and we thought that would be the end of it. But months later, he developed a serious infection from the surgery. What should have been a straightforward recovery turned into a nightmare that's affecting everything—his health, his ability to work, and his peace of mind.

Because of the infection, my dad can't work. He's on short-term disability, but here's where it gets harder: his workers' compensation claim was denied. We're not sure why, and we're still trying to figure out next steps with that, but in the meantime, bills keep arriving and he has no income to meet them.

And then, to compound everything, my mom passed away. My dad is now grieving the loss of his partner while battling a serious infection, managing medical bills, and struggling under the weight of financial stress. He's fighting so hard to recover, but he shouldn't have to worry about losing his home or falling behind on bills while he does it.

I'm asking for your help to ease his burden during this incredibly difficult time. Your generosity could help cover his essential expenses and give him the space to heal—not just physically, but emotionally too. Any amount you can give will make a real difference for my dad right now. We're deeply grateful for whatever support you can offer.
