<div><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:1rem;color:inherit;">On Memorial Day, our lives were forever changed. My best friend - our rock and the heart of our home - suffered a horrific accident.</span>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>While using a smoker, a sudden fire exploded out, engulfing her arms, chest, neck, and face. She was literally lit on fire, and worst of all… the children saw everything.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She was rushed to the trauma bay, but her injuries were so severe that she had to be transferred to a burn center nearly 2 hours away. She’s now in excruciating pain, battling a high fever and infection, and none of the pain medications have worked.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> <strong>Her Faith Is Unshakable</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Even while suffering, her faith in God has never wavered.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She’s praised Jesus through the fire, through the pain, and through every single trial. Nurses and doctors have said they’ve never seen strength like hers - her peace, her prayers, and her unwavering faith have been an inspiration to everyone around her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She is a true light in the darkness.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> <strong>The Life We Built — And the Burden Now</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In October, we made a big decision: to move in together and raise our children under one roof with a shared dream of building a life of faith, freedom, and eventually, owning land.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I pay the mortgage while she pays the utilities, groceries, gas, car payments, and feeds the animals.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She homeschools all 4 children (her 3 and my 1) and also cares for her children's father, who’s been battling cancer since December 2023.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/91527533_1748835400381314_r." width="100%" />

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now, with her gone, her children's father and I are doing our best to hold it all together. But…

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The mortgage is due

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Groceries are running low

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The utilities are piling up

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The kids are hurting, opening the fridge hoping for something that isn’t there

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’re trying to keep life "normal" for them, but the truth is - we need help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/91527533_1748835436941735_r." width="100%" />

<div><br />

</div>

<div> <strong>How You Can Help</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m asking for support - not just for the bills, but to keep our home intact while she heals and fights to come back to us.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> <strong>Your donation will go toward:</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Mortgage &amp; utilities

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Groceries for our family of 8

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Gas &amp; car payments

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Food for the animals

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Essentials for the kids

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> If you can’t give financially, please pray. Pray for her recovery. Pray for strength. Pray that we feel God’s hand over every need.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We believe in miracles, and we're praying for one now.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for loving us through this.

</div>

<div>Thank you for being part of our village.

</div>

<div>And thank you for helping us bring Mama home.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love,

</div>

<div><br />
