My name is James Ritchey, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my wife, Michelle, who is Courageously BATTLING OBESITY DISEASE. As a Loving Wife, Mother and Grandmother, the challenges she faces DAILY NOT ONLY AFFECT HER but OUR ENTIRE FAMILY. Michelle has always found joy in simple moments, like PLAYING with our GRANDCHILDREN, but this condition has made those moments increasingly DIFFICULT.

Michelle endures various HEALT ISSUES caused by this DISEASE, including High Blood Pressure, Anxiety, Depression, Stress, and PAIN in her Joints, Hips, Lower Back, and Knees. There are times when she NEEDS EMT assistance after losing her balance at home. It breaks my heart to see her STRUGGLE like this EVERYDAY. However, there is HOPE. Doctors have indicated that GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY could provide her with a Transformative Opportunity to REGAIN her HEALTH and HAPPINESS.

We are hoping to RAISE $2,000 to cover her HEALTH INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE and CO-PAYS for this Critical Surgery. We kindly ask for your support—whether through a DONATION or by SHARING Michelle’s STORY with your

friends and family. Your Compassion and Generosity can truly make a difference in HER journey toward a BETTER LIFE.

Thank you for your KINDNESS and SUPPORT. Together, we can help Michelle find the JOY and QUALITY of LIFE she DESERVES.

Thank you and God Bless

James & Michelle Ritchey
