In April of this year, my wife, Valerie Youngs, was diagnosed with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and systolic heart failure. She has blood clots in her heart, and multiple tumors were identified with the use of imaging, one of which is in her lung and needs surgery. She also suffered a stroke on April 26th while in the hospital. Her left leg was amputated below the knee due to blood clots (PVD).

I haven't been able to go to work since this journey began. We've had multiple hospital stays and many follow-up appointments, with lots more to come. We need your help with medical bills and mortgage payments. Thank you to everyone for their prayers. We need them. We also need a little more to get us through this unexpected turn of events.
