Please help support my husband of 48 years, Dale, and I during his time of medical need.

My husband, Dale, suffered a severe hernia injury while working his self-employed job and has already missed 2 months of work, exhausting our savings. He will require 2 more months of recovery after his January 15th, 2026, scheduled surgery. Not being able to work is one of the hardest things he has had to learn to accept.

Due to this happening, he has been unable to earn money for our living expenses, and we are facing medical costs too.

I have been trying to help out with income as well but have advanced osteoporosis and was recently diagnosed with collagenous colitis, now on a 3-month treatment plan. I'm trying to stay positive about our situation but finding at this time we really need help.

All donations will be used to make payments for living expenses such as food, rent, utilities, and upcoming medical expenses. His insurance has changed starting 2026, so will be responsible for more of his medical costs.

We are starting this fundraiser because we are falling behind on our commitments and will be in serious trouble without help.

Any donation will help, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, or $1,000 will help us reach our goal and stay on track and are GREATLY APPRECIATED! THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.

After recovery, since he will not be able to work for 4 to 8 weeks, we will miss that income. After that, we will be able to maintain by ourselves if we can stay current with our expenses now.
