Hi everyone,

This is very difficult for us to share, but our family is going through a challenging time and we need help.

We have a beautiful 5-month-old baby who should be enjoying a peaceful and happy start to life. Unfortunately, over the past few months I have been hospitalized due to a serious medical condition that requires ongoing treatment. Because of the situation and my recovery, I have been unable to work.

My husband has been on parental leave and is doing everything he can to care for our baby while also supporting me through this medical crisis. Right now our family is surviving on a reduced income, and we are struggling to keep up with basic living expenses.

We need help with the essentials while we get through this difficult period.

Donations will go toward:

• Rent and household bills

• Groceries and basic living costs

• Diapers, formula, and baby supplies

• Transportation and other necessities while I receive treatment

We are choosing to keep the details of my medical condition private, but please know that your support will help relieve an enormous amount of stress during an already overwhelming time.

If you are able to donate, even a small amount would make a meaningful difference for our family. And if you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much.

Your kindness will help us focus on what matters most right now: my recovery and caring for our little baby.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for supporting our family during this difficult time.

With gratitude,

Lucas, mama, and papa
