Hello, I’m reaching out to you with a heavy heart to ask for help for my father, John Wright. My dad is 59 years old, a hardworking blue-collar man who has spent nearly 30 years doing wood floors to provide for our family. He’s the type of person who would do anything for anyone—whether it's family, friends, or a neighbor in need. He has always been a man of pride, a stubborn fighter, and someone who never asks for help, even when he needs it most.

Recently, my dad’s life has taken an unexpected and devastating turn. A couple of months ago, he was diagnosed with diabetes, but despite his swollen feet and legs, he kept working on his hands and knees. On September 1st, my dad was rushed to the emergency room with chest pains, and it was then we learned that he had suffered a stroke (we don’t know when it happened), is in stage 4 kidney disease, and has only 25% heart function. His doctors believe he may have as little as six months to live. In addition, he has fluid in his lungs, and he will likely need dialysis soon and a pacemaker in the future.

As if the physical toll wasn’t enough, my dad is now facing the emotional and financial burden of this sudden health crisis. He is in need of long-term care, which is expensive, and despite our best efforts to get him Medicaid, he’s been denied because his income is considered too high (a heartbreaking situation that’s beyond our control). To make matters worse, the mortgage on the house he worked so hard to pay off is now behind, and the medical bills are piling up. He is constantly worried about the financial strain, and it breaks my heart to see him like this.

My goal is to ease my dad’s stress and surprise him with one less thing to worry about—his debts paid off, so he can focus on his health and healing. I know that if he gets better, he would want to go back to work to pay off these debts, but I don't want him to have to do that. He has given so much of his life to his family and his community; now it’s our turn to help him. Your generosity can provide a financial cushion that will allow him to concentrate on getting better.

Please consider donating to help relieve the financial burden on my dad so that he can focus on his health and healing without the constant stress of debt. If you can’t donate, please share this GoFundMe with your family and friends to help spread the word. Every little bit helps, and your support means more than words can express.

Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support.
