My wife has battled Rheumatoid arthritis and pulmonary fibrosis since she was a child. Despite the constant pain and limited lung function, she always wore a smile that brightened the lives of everyone around her.

The doctor's told her that she would not be able to have children due to these diseases. God has blessed us with three wonderful kid's. Our children are still young, and need their mother.

As the years have passed, the pulmonary fibrosis has worsened, leading to pulmonary hypertension and increasing pressure and discomfort in her chest. Her lungs can only manage 20% of what a healthy person's can. Simple tasks are now monumental challenges, yet she hasn't lost hope.

A glimmer of hope has appeared in the form of a life-changing surgery that should alleviate her suffering and improve her quality of life. However, the cost is exorbitant, well over a million dollars. Determined to help my wife, I'm asking our friends, family, and community to ralley together in this fundraiser.

We believe that God has opened the doors to make this possible. All testing has been completed and we are awaiting being listed. We expect this to happen within the next few weeks, then surgery at any given time.

This fundraiser is to help pay for the portion that insurance will not. Bills are expected between $1.2-$3M, which means we need $250K+ just for the medical side. This does not include transportation, food, lodging, ect. Thank you for your generosity, support and prayers.
