Hi everyone,
I’m starting this fundraiser on behalf of my dad, who has been through more than anyone should have to endure. My dad has always been the strongest person I know—the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back, work tirelessly to provide for his family, and never complain no matter what life threw his way. But now, he is facing the fight of his life.
My dad was recently diagnosed with chronic severe COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), and his condition has progressed to the point that he had to undergo a tracheostomy. This procedure has been life-changing for him, and while it’s helping him breathe, it’s also come with incredible challenges. He hasn’t been able to work since, which has left him struggling not only with his health but also with the financial burden that comes with it.
Right now, things are urgent. My dad only has two days’ worth of medical supplies left, and the company will not send more until a payment of $230 is made. These supplies are not optional—they are what he depends on daily to breathe and stay safe. On top of that, his medical bills are piling up, and everyday expenses—rent, utilities, groceries—are still coming due. Without his ability to work, it’s nearly impossible to keep up.
This is why I’m reaching out to family, friends, and kind-hearted strangers. Every single donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward:
• Covering his immediate medical supplies and treatments
• Paying off medical bills
• Keeping him caught up on household bills until he is well enough to return to work
If you know my dad, you know he is a fighter. He’s always been the one to show up for others, and now I’m praying that people will show up for him.
Even if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign to help spread the word. Your support—whether through a donation, a share, or a prayer—means more than we could ever put into words.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my dad’s story. Together, we can help ease the burden on him so he can focus on what matters most: healing and getting stronger every day.
With love and gratitude,
Brittany
