My reason for reaching out for help in this incredibly difficult time is simple. My family and I were attacked in our home on June 6, 2025. I was wounded and another died due to the injuries sustained. My family home is ruined, and the memories of that terrifying night are unrelenting. The threatening messages from the deceased's affiliates makes returning home potentially dangerous for my children, myself, my wife. My address is all over the news. We feel like fugitives and we move like nomads.

My wife and I have been consistently raising our children for 11+ years at this same home. This home has weathered unemployment, a grease fire, the death of my parents, and even COVID-19. Never in my worst nightmare could I have imagined something so devastating happening to my family, in this loving home, of all places.

Though I am blessed with my life and the life of my family, my injuries keep my future in jeopardy as well. While protecting my family I was stabbed in the shoulder and it was surgically repaired. My spine is also fractured. My wife suffered bruises from the attack and she is trying to keep our many children safe from harm as we transition. I'm out of work and I don't know when I can return. My worst fear, through so many overwhelming emotions and the anxiety, is worrying about leaving my family alone and unprotected. It's scary! Although that day will come, the unfortunate reality is there will never be a day that goes by, that the feeling of fear and horror can strike again. Our children are waking up crying from nightmares every night. I can only hope as the provider and protector of my family, that one day we can find peace.

Our biggest reality is this attack has jeopardized our lives completely. This tragedy has left us unsure what to do, where to turn, or who to rely on. We are no strangers to adversity, and my wife and I have taken every step possible to survive this tragedy. But as the weeks continue, it's clear that we need support. We your need help!

We are humbly asking for support for living essentials, legal fees, and medical bills and supplies, even therapy. We are seeking support for safe housing, somewhere we can start over. A place where my family and I can just recover and heal. Whatever help that you can provided will make a REAL and significant impact. And the love you give will never be forgotten or mistreated. Whatever classes, whatever training, seminars or meeting. Whatever I can physically do, I am willing. I willing to do whatever it takes to make my family feel safe again.
