On August 30th, Richard was hospitalized with a severe spine infection called Klebsiella. Since then, he has also developed painful abscesses that have left him unable to walk or stand. In just two weeks, Richard is now facing his third surgery. It is also, still undetermined how many other surgeries he will need and how much longer he will need to be hospitalized.

Anyone who knows Richard knows he is a loving, hardworking family man who has always been there to lend a hand and support others. Now, he is the one in need of help.

My mom (his wife) has been by his side every single day, but with mounting bills and everyday expenses, the weight is becoming overwhelming. We are asking for support—whether through donations or by sharing this page—to help Richard and our family through this difficult time.

Your love, prayers, and generosity mean more than words can express.
