Brian was disabled from his job three years ago and has faced a string of hardships since then. He has struggled with ongoing pain from back and shoulder surgeries, as well as extensive dental work, which have kept him out of work and made daily life challenging. Despite these difficulties, Brian has always remained generous and hopeful, supporting others whenever he could.

On December 29, 2025, Brian experienced a life-threatening emergency when he went into anaphylactic shock. His breathing and heart stopped for nearly five minutes, but thankfully friends performing CPR, 911 acting swiftly, neighbors directing paramedics to the location, and EMTs life saving equipment, he was revived and spent several days in the hospital undergoing extensive tests. He returned home with six broken ribs, an EpiPen, and urgent instructions for allergy testing and follow-up care. The road to recovery will require more tests, doctor visits, and ongoing medical support.

Brian was recently baptized as a new Christian and is deeply grateful for the gift of life and the chance to be breathing again. He would want nothing more than prayer and for people to remember how precious life is. Brian hopes everyone learns CPR, as chest compressions can truly save lives. Any support you can offer to help him heal, cover his living expenses, medical bills, and prescriptions, and discover the cause of his allergic reaction is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your kindness and prayers.
