Help Beth & Chas Get Back on the Road to Recovery

Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

My name is Beth, and I’m reaching out during one of the toughest times of my life. As a small online business owner and someone battling chronic illness, life has thrown more challenges my way than I ever expected.

Since 2021, I’ve endured multiple surgeries, hospital stays, and misdiagnoses that have taken a toll on my health, finances, and mental well-being.


Despite it all, I’ve done everything I can to keep my business running and stay positive.


My fiancé Chas, a retired teacher, has been my rock through it all.

This year, we finally began to see light at the end of the tunnel—my diagnosis became clearer, and I was starting to recover. But in October, everything changed again. I faced another hospital stay due to complications, Chas injured his back, and just last week, our car’s engine completely gave out.


This car isn’t just a vehicle for us—it’s our lifeline. It gets us to medical appointments, enables me to keep my small business running, and provides independence during a time when everything feels uncertain.

Thanks to some unexpected insurance coverage we discovered, a large portion of the engine repair is being taken care of, but we still need to raise $4,500 in total to cover all the repairs. This includes a new engine with a 3-year/100k-mile warranty, brake and rotor fixes, and ensuring the car is road-ready again.

We urgently need the car repaired as soon as possible. Chas’s out-of-town medical appointment has been pushed back to later this month, and I have an important out-of-town appointment coming up in February. Having reliable transportation is critical for both of us to manage our health and stay on top of these challenges.

Your support—whether a donation or simply sharing our story—would mean the world to us. Every little bit helps, and your generosity could make the difference between staying stuck and moving forward.


Once we’re back on our feet, we promise to pay this kindness forward. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of our journey.

With hope and gratitude,
Beth & Chas
