Hello, I am seeking the help of others during a hard time of need. I hate to have to do this but i have no choice especially with little to no savings as a single father makes it harder. on 9/30/25 I went to the ER with severe stomach pains. Within a few hours I found out I needed emergency surgery. The recovery has had its complications. This is going to leave me out of work for at least 5-6 weeks. All donations will go towards supporting my monthly bills and things needed for my children. Anything you are willing to donate to help me keep up with my bills and daily life would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
