Hey everyone, most of you know myself and some of my family. My father, Chris, was diagnosed with a horrendous back issue just yesterday that needs immediate back surgery within weeks to avoid serious possibilities of being paralyzed. The surgery is called Laminectomy surgery, which keeps you from being able to do any activities, including getting up on your own, providing for your family, and of course, working. This process will last about 3 months. Working in the construction industry following his years in the military, unfortunately, does not come with many benefits, including short-term disability. My mother will have to be with him 24/7 to give him constant care, which will stop working from being an option.

Chris is a man who always has had a giving heart. He served our country in the Army and serves his family every day. He works on many people's vehicles, whether he worked a 16-hour day or whether you had the money or not. I've seen him personally give the shirt off his back countless times, and the least I can do is try to help him in a huge time of need. Any amount would be super appreciated to just simply try to cover costs at home while he isn't able to work. It would be a blessing in disguise, as many of you know, our country doesn't do enough for our veterans like they should. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
