We don’t like to ask for help, but our family is facing a difficult time. Our mother, Cathy, recently experienced a stroke. While she is physically okay, it has impacted her mentally in ways that we are still working to understand and manage. As she focuses on healing and getting the care she needs, she has been unable to work. This has caused both medical and household bills to fall behind and continue to add up. We’re doing our best to navigate what comes next, and any help or support—whether financial or simply sharing this—means the world to us. Thank you for being there for Cathy.
