Assist My Hardworking Parents' Recovery

For my entire life, my dad has worked tirelessly to provide for my family and my disabled mother. He worked at a marble company for over 20 years and retired less than 2 years ago. At almost 70 years old, he has almost no retirement savings due to the high cost of living and low wages for a blue-collar worker in his field. He has begun developing health issues, including severe knee issues that cause him to lose his balance sometimes. These issues are believed to be from a severe tendon injury he sustained at work several years ago.

My mother has been suffering for many decades from Degenerative Disc Disease, Spinal Stenosis, and many other issues involving her spine and nerves. Before my mom's health issues became too severe, she worked consistently since the age of 18, when she aged out of the foster care system. Last year, she had an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion for Cervical Myelopathy, which left her partially paralyzed in her hands, feet, arms, and legs. With all of the bills from the surgery, regular doctor visits, monthly medication, and other medical expenses, they are left with very little money to afford other important things in their life. They are both struggling to find work that is accommodating of their health struggles.

In addition to their financial and medical issues, my parents have faced other hardships in recent years. In 2022, my mom's grandmother died. She was basically my mom's mom, and her death was very hard on my family. Just a year later, my mother's twin sister died following a very short and sudden battle with cancer, which not only devastated my mother but left her with even more financial responsibility.

I am raising money for my parents so they can afford things like food, bills, and monthly medical expenses during a time that they are deeply struggling. They are struggling with health problems and should not have to struggle so much to make ends meet after working hard their entire lives.

Any money raised will go directly towards their living and medical expenses as we work to lower their monthly costs and explore other sources of income for them.
