Just when we thought our lives were set to blossom with the exciting arrival of our son Timothy, we were suddenly faced with an unexpected and life-altering challenge. Shortly after Timothy’s birth, my wife suffered a severe spinal injury that has left her in need of full-time care. On top of this, she has also been battling the crushing weight of postpartum psychosis, which has made our journey even more overwhelming. What should have been a season of joy quickly turned into a tumultuous trial filled with uncertainty, hardship, and responsibility beyond anything we could have imagined.

As new parents, our hearts are filled with love and hope for our little one, but these medical crises have brought not only emotional strain but also tremendous financial challenges. With my wife requiring constant care, I have taken on the role of her full-time caregiver, which means I am unable to work at this present time. Meanwhile, the mounting medical bills and daily expenses continue to weigh heavily on our family.

We are reaching out for assistance during this critical time, believing in the strength of community and the kindness of others. Any support—whether large or small—would provide much-needed relief and help us focus on what truly matters: nurturing our newborn son and supporting my wife’s healing journey. Above all, we humbly ask for your prayers as we walk through this difficult season, trusting that God’s grace and the love of others will help carry us through.

Thanks,

Jared, Jennifer, & Timothy Rush
