Hello,

We are reaching out during a very difficult & humbling season to ask for help we never imagined we would need.

We are seeking immediate help to secure reliable transportation so Ashley can continue working & their family can stay afloat.

Several years ago, Dale nearly lost his life after a severe infection entered his bloodstream & damaged a valve in his heart. He underwent open-heart surgery to replace the valve, but due to the extent of the damage, there is still a hole present. That replacement valve is now nearing the end of its lifespan & will need to be replaced again in the near future. Because of this, his doctors have been very clear that Dale cannot do strenuous work, as it could put his life at risk.

In addition to his heart condition, Dale also suffers from a degenerative disease, further limiting the type of work he can safely perform. However, until his doctor took him off work in October 2025, he was employed and working to provide for his family. While employment options within these medical limitations are limited, Dale continues to seek employment while caring for their two young children, both under the age of three.

His wife, Ashley, has recently been able to secure employment & is currently the sole income for their household. This job is their lifeline, absolutely essential to keeping their family afloat.

Unfortunately, their transportation situation is now threatening that newfound stability.

The motor in their car has failed. Repairing it would require continued payments plus a significant down payment for a new motor — an expense that far exceeds the value of the vehicle itself. They have located a reliable replacement vehicle, but they simply do not have the means to purchase it.

Without dependable transportation, Ashley risks losing the one job their family currently relies on.

Despite everything, Ashley & Dale remain committed to serving others. They are active in their church community, helping in children’s, men’s, women’s, & music ministries whenever health & circumstances allow. They are doing everything they can to move forward — but right now, they need help.

We are not asking for anything extravagant — only a safe, reliable way for Ashley to get to & from work so their family can remain stable during this season.

If you feel led to give, any amount would be a blessing. If you’re unable to give, prayers & sharing this fundraiser are just as meaningful.

Thank you for taking the time to read their story & for any support you are able to offer.

With gratitude,

Ashley & Dale
