Dear friends, family, and kind supporters. 

   I hope this message finds you in good spirits today. I am reaching out with a heavy heart as my family and I are navigating some challenging circumstances.

    Recently our community was hit hard by a severe storm. We experience significant damage to our property when strong winds uprooted several trees from our neighbors yard crashing down into our fence. The cost of repairs are daunting, and this unexpected burden comes at a time when we are already facing financial strain due to medical leave, medical bills and upcoming knee surgeries.  

   Additionally, we have recently welcome our grandson who is two years old into our home having him with us is a blessing, but it has also increase our living expense as my wife and I work to adjust these new dynamics. We find ourselves managing not only the day-to-day cost, but also mounting medical bills that we are struggling to keep up with. 

   We have always been willing to give and support others in our community. This is the first time we are seeking help and it feels humbling to ask for assistance. However we recognize that we cannot overcome these challenges alone. 

   Thank you for taking the time to read our story. We appreciate any support you can provide whether it be a donation, sharing our campaign or simply keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

With heartfelt gratitude, 

Pastors, Jose and Gina Lopez.
