Our dear friends, Stephen and Julia, are going through one of the hardest years of their lives. They’ve always been the kind of people who show up for others, but now, they need a little help themselves.

Earlier this year, Stephen was hospitalized for multiple days due to serious internal pain that is still being tested for results. On top of that, he requires daily heart medications to manage a chronic genetic condition. Meanwhile, Julia just suffered a painful foot break that immediately needs a CT scan and possible surgery, making it even harder for them to get through their daily challenges.

Between hospital stays, medications, therapy, and ongoing health struggles, they’ve been fighting to stay afloat. They’ve drained their savings covering medical bills and wedding expenses, and to make matters worse, Stephen's position at his job was eliminated without warning causing them to lose their health insurance. With no safety net left, they’re now facing mounting medical costs with no clear way forward.

How You Can Help:

We’re coming together as friends and family to lift some of the financial burden off their shoulders. Any donation, big or small, will go directly toward:

Medical bills & prescriptions – Covering past and future healthcare costs

Therapy & mental health support – Ensuring they get the help they need

️ Daily essentials – Groceries, transportation, and basic living expenses

Future medical care – Helping them navigate this uncertain time

Stephen and Julia have always been strong, but no one should have to fight these battles alone. If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing their story. Every bit of kindness helps them get through this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for your love and support!
