Help Support My Stepdad’s Heart Surgery Journey

Over the past year, my stepdad Jake has undergone multiple surgeries in his fight for better health. Now, he is preparing for his most intensive and final heart surgery in Utah. This is a crucial step toward his recovery, and while we are hopeful, the road ahead comes with many challenges.

During this time, my mom Tonie will be by his side every step of the way. Unfortunately, this means she will be out of work for an indefinite period, and her small store will also need to close. REN’s Second Hand is a second home to many. The loss of income, combined with the costs of travel, lodging, and day-to-day living expenses, is a heavy burden on our family.

We are asking for your kindness and support during this difficult time. Any contribution will go directly toward helping cover living expenses so my mom can focus on being there for my stepdad without the added worry of financial strain. We have faith God has his hand in all of this. All of his little grandchildren are praying to see Grandpa soon.

Your generosity—whether through a donation, sharing this page, or keeping our family in your prayers—means more than words can express. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us get through this final hurdle.

Thank you.

His girls & Grandma Tony.
