I honestly was really hoping we wouldn't have to post another update like this, but here we are. First, I want to say thank you to everyone who helped us back in July. Your kindness gave us breathing room when we needed it most, and we’ll never forget it.

The good news is that both of us are working now, which we’re so grateful for. At the moment Jess and I working 4 jobs between us. It has been difficult, but we are moving toward stability. Unfortunately we are still playing catch-up from my time out of work. This is on top of some unexpected setbacks that have really stretched us thin. We had 3 hospital visits last month, 2 for Josie and one for me. Between medical bills and missed work, it’s been overwhelming.

I know I have no right to ask for more help, but I would do anything for my family and we are not ready to give up yet. My hope is that now that our income is somewhat more stable this we can start digging out of this hole. If you’re able to give anything at all, it would mean the world to us. And if you can’t donate, sharing this with others would be just as appreciated.

We’re holding on to hope that things will keep improving now that steady work is here — we just need a little help to bridge the gap. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for keeping our family in your thoughts.

With love and gratitude,

Mike
