We are reaching out in hopes of rallying support for the Wellman family as they navigate an incredibly challenging chapter in their lives. Recently, James Wellan suffered a hemorrhagic stroke caused by a severe brain bleed. While we are deeply grateful that James is showing signs of recovery, the road ahead will be long, complex, emotionally, and financially demanding. His journey toward healing will require rehabilitation, medical care, and unwavering support from those around him.

As James focuses on regaining his strength, his family is shouldering the immense responsibility of managing his personal affairs, finances, and maintaining their home life. All this while coping with the emotional toll of such a life-altering event. James shares his life with his loving partner, Candice. The two have spent over 33 years together, building their life rooted in love, teamwork, and dedication. Together, they raised two incredible children, Jayde and Jonas, who have grown into adulthood and are now beginning to build families of their own.

Throughout the years, the Wellan family has always been a tightly knit unit. Whether it was cheering each other on in sports events, setting off on memorable family trips, or escaping the summer heat with impromptu visits to the theater, we did everything together as a team. James is the rock of the team, the steadfast father, the devoted partner, and the constant presence in the lives of those he loves most. Now that James faces the long and difficult path to recovery, Candice has taken on the role of his primary caregiver. Her strength and resilience are inspiring. The demands of full-time care and financial strain are immense. Any support you can offer would mean the world to our family. Your generosity will help ease the burden and help the family focus on James and his recovery. Thank you for standing with the Wellan family during this difficult time.
