Dear Friends and Community,

We are reaching out to you today on behalf of a wonderful individual who has dedicated a lot of his life to helping others. Ron Pendleton, a volunteer EMT for 5 years, has always been there for our community in times of need. He has responded to countless emergencies, providing care with unwavering commitment and compassion. Now, he needs our help more than ever.

For the past few years Ron has dealt with health issues, but he would always be able to bounce back rapidly. Recently, Ron has been facing severe and debilitating health issues which arose from a chronic illness. His condition has required multiple hospital visits and extended stays, with each episode leaving him more weakened and uncertain about his future. The severity of his health issues has left him unable to work a stable job, which is not only affecting his ability to earn a living but also his ability to cover his mounting medical bills.

With no stable income, Ron is struggling to manage the cost of his medical treatments and related expenses. His condition has made it impossible for him to continue his role as a volunteer EMT or to keep a stable job, which he used to rely on to make ends meet. Additionally, he is facing difficulties maintaining his home, and his car—essential for getting to medical appointments and performing any kind of work. It is in disrepair. Without a reliable vehicle, his situation becomes even more dire, as he is unable to attend appointments or find work that could alleviate his financial burden.

We are launching this GoFundMe campaign to provide Ron with the support he needs during this challenging time. Your contributions will go directly towards:

• Covering medical bills and ongoing treatment costs

• Making necessary home repairs and maintaining essential utilities

• Repairing or replacing his car to ensure he can attend medical appointments and potentially find work

• Providing financial relief to help him manage daily living expenses and reduce his stress

This help could allow him to be able to work consistently again and start thriving like he used to. Ron has always been a positive person and tried to make everyone laugh no matter how he was feeling. He wanted to make sure everyone around him was happy. He has always been there for others and tries to help others the best way he could. Now, it is our turn to stand by him. No donation is too small, and every bit of support will make a meaningful difference in his life.

Please consider contributing to this campaign and sharing it with your network. Your generosity will help Ron navigate this difficult period and eventually find a path to recovery. Thank you for your compassion and support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Carla and Jennifer
