​Hi everyone, my name is Ken.

​I’m reaching out today to ask for your support as I navigate a major turning point in my health and mobility. As many of you know, I’ve spent my life adapting to challenges—I’m an amputee and I manage legal blindness. My focus has always been on being the best provider and dad I can be for my wife, Gabby, and our two young children, Theo (7) and Sadie (4).

​I am now at a place where I need to ask for a "hand up" to stay on my feet.

​My current prosthetic is poorly fitting and has become increasingly painful, limiting my ability to keep up with my kids and stay active. More importantly, I am facing a necessary surgery on my residual limb to address complications and prepare me for a new, properly fitted prosthetic. While we don't have a final date on the calendar yet, we are currently in the "pre-op" phase, and the costs are already mounting.

​Why I need your help:

Even with insurance, the out-of-pocket costs for specialized limb revision surgery and a high-functioning prosthetic are significant. Between deductibles, specialized components not covered by basic plans, and the time I will need to be off my feet for recovery, we are facing a gap we simply cannot bridge on our own.

​How your donation helps:

​Surgery & Co-pays: Covers the out-of-pocket medical costs for my upcoming limb revision.

​Prosthetic Upgrades: Helps fund the specialized components needed for a pain-free, active fit that insurance often labels as "not medically necessary."

​Recovery & Mobility: Ensures our family stays stable while I am in post-op recovery and physical therapy.

​My goal is to walk without pain again and be the active dad my kids deserve. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to a successful surgery and a new lease on life. If you aren't able to donate, simply sharing this link would mean the world to us.

​Thank you for your kindness and for helping me get back on my feet.

​With gratitude,

Ken, Gabby, Theo, and Sadie
