UPDATE

Bob came home on 12/17, but sadly he was readmitted on 12/30 due to complications. He underwent another brain surgery and was finally able to come home again on 1/10.
Recovery has been hard. Bob is very unsteady on his feet, and he isn’t quite the Bob we knew before. He struggles to find words, sometimes “buffering” mid-sentence, and even simple tasks leave him exhausted. Something as basic as taking a shower completely wipes him out. 💔
We are doing our best to adapt to this new normal, but it has been incredibly challenging. Bob will be receiving in-home physical and speech therapy for the foreseeable future, though we don’t yet know how long his recovery will take.
Bob does not have disability insurance, and I have been unable to work while caring for him. Our savings have been depleted, and I am increasingly worried about how we will cover our basic needs. While I do plan to return to work, Bob cannot be left alone at this time—he needs assistance even to get to the bathroom. Until he regains more independence, I must remain home with him, and there is no clear timeline for when that will change.
If you are able to help in any way—through donations, sharing this page, or simply keeping us in your thoughts—we would be deeply grateful. Your support means more to us than we can put into words.
Thank you for being here for us. ❤️

Please Help Support Bob During His Fight for Recovery

My name is Leah, and I’m reaching out in the hardest moment of my life.

On 11/15, my husband Bob suffered a traumatic brain injury and was rushed to the ICU. He is still in critical condition. We won’t know the full extent of his injury until he can move out of critical care, and right now every moment feels overwhelming and uncertain.

Bob is my best friend, my partner, and the person who can make anyone laugh, even on their worst day. Seeing him like this is something I never could have prepared for.

Because of his condition, Bob will not be able to work for a long time — and we don’t know what his long-term recovery will look like. On top of the emotional fear and uncertainty, the financial burden is already becoming incredibly heavy. Medical expenses, time away from work, travel, and the unknown costs of future care are piling up fast.

I created this Give A Hand because I simply can’t do this alone. Your support would allow me to focus fully on Bob’s healing and be by his side without the constant fear of how we will manage financially. Any amount helps more than I can express, and if you’re not able to donate, sharing this page means so much.

Bob is strong. He is a fighter. And I believe with everything in me that he will come back to us.

Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support during the most difficult chapter of our lives.

With love,
Leah
