My name is Mitchell, and I’m reaching out for support as I prepare for ankle surgery on December 15th. The recovery will keep me out of work for at least 8 weeks, and unfortunately, I don’t have any short-term disability coverage through my insurance. This means I’ll be without pay during a time when my family needs stability the most.

I’m the main breadwinner for my household, which includes my fiancé and our four children, ages 3 to 13. With the holidays approaching, my kids are still hoping for Christmas, and I want to make sure they have what they need. The funds raised here will go directly toward covering our rent, medical bills, groceries, and utility payments while I recover. Every bit of support will help us keep our home running and ensure my family is cared for during this difficult period.

Asking for help isn’t easy for me, but I’m running out of options. I’m grateful for any support you can offer, whether it’s a donation or sharing my story. Thank you for considering a contribution to help my family get through these next two months. Your kindness means more than words can express.
