Help Brian's Family Overcome Medical and Financial Struggles

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Brian. I am 42 years old and I live in Missouri with my beautiful wife, Linsay (37), and daughter, Caydence (17), who will be graduating this year with honors, which I am extremely proud of due to the circumstances.

Unfortunately, my wife is a type 1 diabetic and was diagnosed with kidney failure about 6 months ago and has been going to a lot of doctor's appointments and surgeries. Over the last couple of months, things have gotten even worse. I was in the flooring industry until I injured my knee and the company I was working for cut me loose. I have finally healed and am back in the workforce, but while I was off and with my wife barely being able to work, things have gotten behind enough that it is extremely hard to catch back up. My daughter has even started working to help me pay the bills.

This is the first time in the almost 20 years we have been together that I haven't been able to make ends meet. My wife is currently waiting to be put on disability, which will help a lot. I'm not looking to get a free ride or anything; I will be going back to work next week and things will start to change. Unfortunately, right now we are on the verge of being without power, which my wife needs for her dialysis machine, and I'm not sure how much longer the landlord will work with us.

Honestly, just looking for a little help to get back to a fresh start and not feel like I'm failing my girls every day. Just want to be able to breathe again and see a light at the end. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and if you're able to help at all, words could not describe what it would mean. Love you and God bless.
