My name is Owen, and I am reaching out during one of the hardest seasons of my life. About a year ago, I began suffering the effects of nerve damage in my cervical spine. The pain and limitations became so serious that I was unable to keep working while I waited for surgery and started the long recovery process. I am thankful to now be recovering, but I am still not able to return to work yet. This has left me in a very difficult position, trying to heal while also falling behind on the basic bills that keep life stable for my family and me.

Right now, these funds will help me keep my mortgage paid while I continue to recover and, hopefully very soon, prepare to re-enter the workforce. I am behind on everything, and I have run out of things to sell for quick cash just to get by. If you are able to help, please know that any support will make a real difference for me during this time. Thank you all for your kindness, empathy, and generosity. I have never been good at asking for help, so I am deeply grateful to everyone who sees this need and reaches out. It truly means the world to me. I also want to especially thank Sathdresh for organizing this event and being a true friend through and through. Bless you all.
