I’m Ben, and I’m starting this fundraiser for myself during one of the hardest seasons of my life. In my mid-40s, I went into kidney failure and now need dialysis three times a week. Because of the time and physical toll of treatment, I can only work part time, and the loss of income has made it incredibly difficult to keep up with everyday responsibilities. Along with ongoing medical bills, I’m facing the constant pressure of covering my mortgage, utilities, insurance, transportation, and other essential household expenses. What used to be manageable has become overwhelming, and I’m doing my best to stay afloat while focusing on my health.

The support from this fundraiser will help me keep up with those continuing costs and ease the strain caused by reduced income. Since dialysis and related expenses are ongoing, predictable support can make a real difference in helping me stay current on the basics month after month while I continue treatment. If you’re able, I would be deeply grateful for any donation to help with these regular needs, and sharing this fundraiser would also mean a great deal to me. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can give during this difficult time.
