Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers, we are reaching out to you during the most challenging time our family has ever faced. Our beloved Leslie recently underwent major open-heart surgery following months of severe illness. While we are incredibly grateful that she is still with us, the road to recovery is long and has left our family in a state of financial crisis.Leslie has been unable to work for several months as she battled her illness and underwent multiple cardiac procedures. During this time, her husband Juan has worked tirelessly to provide for Leslie and their two adopted children. However, the medical expenses and the loss of a primary income have completely exhausted our family's resources.

Leslie is still in a critical recovery phase and will be unable to return to work for several more months. We are currently struggling to cover the most basic necessities, including heating for our home and daily essentials for our children, while we wait for her to regain her strength.We are asking for your help to bridge the gap until Leslie can return to work. Your generous donations will go directly toward:

Heating and Utility Bills: Ensuring our home remains warm and safe for Leslie’s recovery and the children.

Basic Needs: Groceries, household essentials, and school supplies for our two children.

Medical Aftercare: Assisting with the costs of medications and follow-up appointments not covered by insurance.

We have always been a family that prides itself on hard work and independence, but we have reached a point where we cannot do this alone. Even the smallest donation makes a massive difference in our lives. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing our story with your network.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your prayers, your kindness, and your support during Leslie’s healing journey.
