My dad, who is 72 years old, has always been a hardworking and independent man, providing for himself and his family throughout his life. He is now retired and lives on a very limited income. Recently, he faced a serious health setback that required a week-long hospital stay. Now, he relies on oxygen and needs a safe, comfortable environment to recover at home. To support him, I’ve moved in with my three children so we can help care for him and make sure he has everything he needs.

Just as we were getting him settled back home, his air conditioner stopped working. Because of his health, having a working AC isn’t just about comfort—it’s essential. The repair person explained that fixing the unit will be a two-person job since it’s located in the attic, and there’s a persistent Freon leak that needs to be found and repaired. While we managed a temporary fix, the AC still needs extensive repairs soon. If the Freon leaks out again and the AC fails, my dad won’t be able to stay at home safely.

This unexpected repair is a significant financial strain for our family. We’re doing everything we can to keep my dad at home and avoid the need for a nursing facility. Any support will go directly toward the urgent repairs needed to keep his air conditioner running and help him recover in the place he loves, surrounded by family.
