Mark, my lifelong friend and former spouse, has always been someone I could count on. We were married for 25 years, and even though life took us in different directions, our bond never faded. We remain partners in spirit, standing together when it matters most. Now, Mark needs me more than ever, and I am here to support him through this difficult chapter.

Recently, Mark was bitten by his dog while trying to feed them. The injuries to his feet and hands were serious, and he was taken to the hospital. Although he was discharged the same day, his wounds worsened over the next few days. When the ambulance was called, Mark was admitted to the hospital and told that waiting any longer could have been fatal. The dog bites had become severely infected, and Mark’s diabetes made the situation even more dangerous. He had to undergo a transmetatarsal amputation on his right foot, while his left foot was also bitten but not as severely. Mark cannot return to his current residence, which is unsafe and unfit for recovery.

Family, friends, and loved ones are searching for a new home for Mark, but he needs help to rebuild his life. The funds raised will go toward medical needs, out-of-pocket medicine costs, a deposit for a safe place to live, and household essentials like a bed. Everything would be greatly appreciated—your prayers and support will help Mark as he attempts to overcome this life-changing situation and start a new chapter.
