Hi there, my name's Chris. In that picture up above are my wife Marisol and her mom Mercy. Unfortunately, it seems we're ending off the year on a bit of a rough note with several hospitalizations back to back. We are currently back in for the second time this month, which has left us in a pretty terrible state.

Mercy has Congestive Heart Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension caused by severe scoliosis from an uncorrectable birth defect. At 55 years old, she's on full-time oxygen and a ventilator at night, and requires assistance with most everything, leaving us little time to work around her needs.

As we approach the new year, we are struggling to just pay rent and keep the lights on. If you are able to help in any way, we would be so grateful, and it would help us have a warm, happy holiday
