<div>My name is Erin and I am reaching out to our community today because of a heartbreaking scene I witnessed right outside my front door. The other day, I looked out door cam and saw an 81-year-old man slowly and painstakingly carrying my heavy luggage that had been lost on a recent flight up a steep flight of stairs. He looked absolutely exhausted, and his steps were heavy with effort. It completely broke my heart to see a man of his age doing such intense, grueling physical labor, so I opened my door to meet him and to offer my help. That is when I learned the devastating truth about his situation. His name is Don , and for the past three years, he has been working around the clock delivering luggage to make ends meet.
</div>
<div>He has put over 200,000 grueling miles on his car which has caused it to no longer run at times When I asked him why he continues to choose such a physically demanding job at 81 years old, his response was simple, humble, and completely heartbreaking: "It’s the only job that will hire me."The reality is that he isn't working by choice; he is working for survival. His beautiful wife of 57 years, Josephine, is currently fighting a severe battle against cancer. The staggering medical bills, continuous treatments, expensive prescription medications, and everyday costs of living have completely overwhelmed them. At an age when he should be resting and spending every precious single moment by his wife's side, he is out on the road lifting heavy bags just to keep her alive and cared for.He is a deeply proud, selfless, and dedicated husband who would never ask for charity himself, which is exactly why I am stepping in as to start this GoFundMe campaign. He shouldn't have to carry this crushing financial and physical weight all by himself anymore.

<div>Every single dollar raised from this campaign will go directly to helping them survive this crisis. Your donations will pay off their mounting cancer treatments, cover their daily living expenses, and finally allow him to stop working so he can safely stay home to take care of his wife. Please consider donating whatever you can, or sharing this link and his video to help get the word out. Thank you so much for your immense kindness, prayers, and generosity.
