Fields Family GoFundMe Campaign
Supporting a Family in Need

Introduction
In times of hardship, communities often come together to support those in need. The Fields Family GoFundMe campaign is one such initiative, aimed at providing much-needed assistance to a family facing challenging circumstances.

The Fields Family
Known for always taking care of other family members and supporting other causes, Debbie and Mike always help where they can. Unfortunately, they now find themselves in dire need of support due to unforeseen circumstances.

Unforeseen Challenges
The Fields' troubles began when Debbie was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although she continued to work through treatment, the uncovered expenses mounted up. Recently, Mike was diagnosed with a severe medical condition that rendered him unable to work. He has blocked veins in his leg. He was scheduled for a vein bypass surgery to help him walk so he could continue to work; however, when he went for his EKG, the doctor told him he had a heart attack. Doctors put Mike on blood-thinners to (hopefully) dissolve a blood clot sitting on his heart, which is delaying his vein bypass surgery. To complicate things, he lost flow to his toes on his right foot and now he will need them, if not his whole foot, amputated. The mounting medical bills, coupled with the loss of their primary source of income, has placed an immense financial strain on the family. Debbie is currently working two jobs, but the family still struggles to cover basic living expenses, including the house payment, utilities, and groceries.

The GoFundMe Campaign
In light of these challenges, friends rallied together to create a GoFundMe campaign to support the Fields family. The primary goal of the campaign is to raise funds to alleviate the financial burden and provide the family with some much-needed relief until Mike can return to work or can qualify for Social Security Disability.

Campaign Objectives
The Fields Family GoFundMe campaign aims to:
• Cover medical expenses for Mike’s treatment and mounting hospital bills
• Provide financial support for daily living expenses
• Help pay for medical expenses from Debbie’s breast cancer treatment

How Donations Will Be Used
Transparency is a key component of the Fields Family GoFundMe campaign. Donors can rest assured that their contributions will be used responsibly and effectively. Funds raised through the campaign will be allocated as follows:
• Medical Expenses: Covering Mike’s hospital expenses, upcoming surgeries, medications, and any necessary equipment or therapies.
• Living Expenses: Providing support for house payment, utilities, groceries, and other essential bills.
