Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

I’m reaching out during one of the most difficult times for my family. As many of you already know, my dad, Nobuhiro Takezawa, is currently in the hospital battling a serious illness. His condition has required extensive medical care, and unfortunately, he does not have health insurance. This means every test, treatment, and day in the hospital is being paid for completely out of pocket.

As you can imagine, the financial burden is overwhelming. My family and I are doing everything we can, but we’ve reached a point where we need help. That’s why I’ve created this GoFundMe — to ask for support from anyone who is willing and able to contribute.

All funds raised will go directly toward my dad’s medical bills, medications, and any follow-up care he may need on the road to recovery. Every donation, no matter the size, truly makes a difference. If you’re not in a position to give, sharing this campaign with others would also mean the world to us.

We’re holding onto hope and taking things day by day, but knowing we’re not alone in this fight gives us the strength to keep going. Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and prayers during this time.

With gratitude,

The Takezawas
