If you know Chris, you know he’s the guy who shows up.

He’s the neighbor shoveling your driveway before you even wake up.

The friend who will drop everything to help you move, replace your cars alternator in a snowstorm, or just sit with you when life feels heavy.

The stranger who turns into a friend because he’s never met someone he wasn’t willing to help.

Now, it’s our turn to show up for him.

Over the past month, Chris has endured a serious illness that landed him in the hospital for nearly two weeks. Complications led to a partial amputation on his foot — a life-altering moment no one could prepare for. Through it all, his spirit has stayed strong and his focus is already on the day his doctors clear him to get back to work and his wonderful work family!

But recovery takes time. While he’s home now and healing, Chris faces a period where he simply can’t do it all on his own. He needs resources to cover daily living expenses, ongoing medical care, and the essentials that will keep him steady until he’s back on his feet — in every sense of the word.

Chris has given so much of himself to others without ever asking for anything in return. Let’s rally around him the way he has rallied around so many of us. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping him heal, stay on top of bills, and move forward with hope.

If you can, please give. And just as importantly, please share this campaign so that the kindness Chris has spread for years can come full circle.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping Chris take his next steps toward recovery.
