Dear Friends and Family,

I am reaching out today with a heavy heart, yet filled with hope, to share a challenging chapter in our lives and ask for your support during this difficult time.

My boyfriend, Justin, recently suffered a stroke that has turned our world upside down. Justin is a strong, independent person who has always been there for those around him—kind, hardworking, and full of life. Overnight, this unexpected event changed everything. He is now facing a long road to recovery, working tirelessly to regain his mobility, speech, and the independence he once had. Every day, he shows incredible determination in therapy sessions, small victories that remind us of his resilient spirit.

The aftermath of a stroke brings not only physical and emotional challenges but also significant financial ones. Medical bills, ongoing rehabilitation (including physical, occupational, and speech therapy), medications, potential home modifications for accessibility, and lost income during recovery are adding up quickly. Insurance covers only part of these costs, leaving us with gaps that feel overwhelming. Our goal is to ensure Justin has access to the best possible care and resources to help him heal fully and reclaim his independence—whether that’s adaptive equipment, additional therapy sessions, or support for daily living needs.

That’s why we’ve set up a fundraising campaign to ease this burden and allow us to focus on what matters most: Justin’s recovery and our future together. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a real difference. It could fund a therapy session that helps him take another step forward, cover essential medical expenses, or provide the tools he needs to rebuild his strength and confidence.

If you’re able to help, please consider donating
