This year has brought unimaginable challenges to my family and me. After suffering two heart attacks and being injured in a car accident, I am now facing the loss of my sister, who has left behind three children that I may need to care for. On top of these personal hardships, I have continued my work in the community, helping to find missing children and prevent tragedies, even while dealing with my own health concerns and injuries.

The financial strain from medical bills, travel for treatment, and the responsibility of caring for my sister’s children has made it difficult to keep our family together and maintain the work I do through my missing children's 501c3 organization. I want to ensure the children have a Christmas to remember and that I can continue to support others in need, just as I have always tried to do.

I am deeply grateful for any support you can offer. With your help, I hope to recover, keep my family together, and return to being a productive member of the community. Your kindness will make a real difference in our lives and help us prepare for whatever comes next.
