Help Derrick Recover After Open Heart Surgery

Donation protected
My name is Derrick, and I’m preparing for open heart surgery on July 22nd to replace my failing mitral valve. This surgery is necessary due to ongoing heart issues that have made daily life a challenge. I’ve been in and out of the hospital for months, and the uncertainty has taken a toll on both my health and our finances.

Earlier this year, I was asked to resign from my job because of my frequent hospitalizations. Since then, my wife and I have been struggling to keep up with our bills. She works full time, but with my upcoming surgery and recovery, she’ll need to miss several days of work to help care for me. We’re worried about covering our house payment, utilities, and phone bill while I recover, which is expected to take at least two months.

My wife, mom, and daughter will be by my side during this time, but the financial strain is overwhelming. Any support will help us keep our home running and allow me to focus on healing. Thank you for considering helping my family during this difficult chapter.
