My dad, Mike, an Air Force Veteran, on a fixed income, recently underwent spinal surgery needs help with after surgery care.

Hello, my name is Serena, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my amazing parents, Mike and Kim Butterfield. They’ve always been there for us, and now they need our help.

My mom, Kim, has been by his side, but her knees and feet are also causing her a great deal of pain, and she may need surgery soon. This has made it incredibly challenging for her to care for my dad and keep up with daily responsibilities.

Let me tell you a little about my parents. They’ve always been selfless and giving. Not only did they raise their three children, but when their three grandchildren needed them the most after their mother abandoned them, my parents didn’t hesitate—they took them in and raised them as their own. It was a difficult journey, but they did it with love and dedication, never asking for anything in return.

Now, they need a little help. My ask is to provide them with support for meals, as they live in a very rural area with limited options. They can have groceries delivered, and with some additional help, they could have someone come in to assist with house cleaning a couple of times. This would relieve so much of the stress they are feeling right now.

I want to keep this a surprise for them because they’d never ask for help themselves—they’ve always been the ones giving. But they truly deserve this support, and I know it would mean the world to them.

Thank you so much for any contribution you can make. It will go directly towards making their lives a little easier during this tough time. My parents are incredible people who have done so much for others, and I’m so grateful for any help we can give them now.

With love and gratitude,

Serena (Their Eldest Daughter)
