As many of you know, Ben recently suffered a traumatic high-pressure injection injury that required emergency hand surgery. As the sole provider for his family, he is only on day two of recovery and he’s already feeling the weight of needing to get back to work. That’s just who he is—dedicated, driven, and always putting others first. But the reality is, while that mindset is admirable, it isn’t sustainable right now. But owning your own business also means there’s no built-in safety net when something goes wrong. Jobs have been delayed or canceled. Bills haven’t stopped. Life, unfortunately, doesn’t pause for recovery.

In order to protect his hand, preserve his career, and safeguard the future of his business, he truly needs time to rest without the constant stress of how to keep everything afloat.

As a small business owner and devoted husband and father, Ben has worked incredibly hard to build a respected reputation in the community. He goes above and beyond for everyone he meets—whether it’s clients, neighbors, or friends—and that effort has not gone unnoticed.

To top it a off, Lexi was scheduled to have a procedure this week due to a severe and painful infection—a procedure that now has to be postponed so we can focus on what’s most urgent and that is getting Ben recovered properly with as little to worry about as possible.

Ben has long dreamed of becoming a licensed home inspector. They have actually paid in full for his certification course twice, but the demands of running his business never allowed him the time to commit to his schooling. While this recovery is difficult, we’re hopeful it can also be a turning point—an opportunity to step back, heal fully, and take steps toward that dream. He can use this time to possibly pick up where he left off.

We’re incredibly grateful for the prayers, love, and support they have already received. If you feel led to help us create a cushion that allows Ben to truly rest and recover—with as little worry as possible—we would be so thankful. Every bit helps, and we can’t express how much your kindness means to us. Please keep his recovery journey in your thoughts and prayers.
