My name is Jesse, and I am starting this fundraiser for myself and my wife as we try to rebuild our lives after moving from Oklahoma to get away from a bad situation. We came here with the bare minimum after rehoming our five dogs, hoping for a fresh start. Since then, everything has become even harder. My sister took back her car, my wife was diagnosed with cancer, and while staying by her side and supporting her through hospital visits, I lost my job. Right now I am sitting with her at the hospital while we wait for her to be transferred to a specialist in South Dakota, and I do not have a vehicle or the money to go with her the way I want to.

The help we receive will go toward the things we need not just today, but in the weeks and months ahead: food, transportation, saving toward a vehicle, and finding a clean and sober place to live away from an unsupportive living situation so we can start over. This is an ongoing need because my wife’s care, travel, and our basic stability will continue to require support while I work toward getting my job back and being able to support us again. If you are able, recurring donations would help us keep food on the table, plan transportation, and move toward safe housing with a little more stability each month. One-time donations would also mean so much to us and help immediately. I am not the type of person to ask, but I have exhausted my resources. Any help means the world to us right now.
