Help for Micheal and Kenadee A Cowboy needs your help

Hi, my name is Sara and I am creating this for my daughter and her fiancé.
This is not something we wanted to have to do, but unfortunately, at this time, it’s the only option we have.
On July 22nd, 2025—just one day before Michael's 21st birthday—Michael was doing what he loved most: riding broncs at a rodeo. Tragically, after his ride, unforeseen circumstances occurred, and he was struck in the face by his horse. The impact left him with multiple broken facial bones, a broken nose, a broken jaw, and deep lacerations.
Michael is currently without insurance, and the cost of surgery and treatment must be paid for out-of-pocket upfront until insurance or financial aid becomes available. This has placed a heavy financial burden on him and his fiancée. It’s still unclear how many surgeries Michael will need or how long his recovery will take. (Currently waiting for results of Medicaid and financial aid.)
Kenadee is a waitress at a small-town local restaurant. With the household bills, including rent, electric, car payments, and insurance, this is not something she can keep up with on her own, all while needing to take days off for Michael’s doctor appointments and surgeries.
