I am a professional truck driver who was recently hospitalized with congestive heart failure. My heart function is severely reduced, with an ejection fraction under 20%, which has made me medically ineligible to continue driving commercially.

This sudden change has left our family without our primary source of income. My wife, Michelle, is working, but her income alone is not enough to cover our household expenses. We have begun receiving SNAP benefits, which have helped with groceries, but we are still struggling to keep up with essential bills.

While we wait for my disability benefits to be reviewed and approved, we are in urgent need of temporary financial assistance. We have three school-aged children, and our priority is maintaining stability for them during this difficult time.

Any support—no matter the amount—would mean more than words can express. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any kindness you are able to share.
