I am facing a major surgery to remove a 6 inch tumor from my right adrenal gland. The procedure is high risk, and I’ll be out of work for at least 30 days, with a hospital stay of 7 to 10 days. Unfortunately, I can’t have the surgery in my hometown, so I have to travel south to Saint Joseph Hospital. My wife wants to be with me during this difficult time, but we can’t afford a motel, so she may have to stay in our car unless we can raise the money. Being out of work for a month will put extreme financial strain on my family, as we live paycheck to paycheck.

We will use the money raised to cover travel and lodging expenses, and to help pay our bills while I recover. I don’t normally ask for anything, but I realized we need help to get through this. Any support will make a real difference for us.

Any help will be appreciated, no matter how small. I will be eternally grateful to anybody that can help. I’m not looking for a handout, just a hand up. Thank you for reading my story and considering a donation.
