Ray is the kind of friend everyone wishes they had—selfless, generous, and always there for others. As a single father, he has faced more than his share of challenges, especially after losing his wife, Jen, in 2023. Recently, Ray took a bad fall and broke his hip, which required surgery and means he’ll be out of work for several months. Being self-employed, this has put him and his son in a difficult position, both emotionally and financially.

Ray has always been the first to offer a helping hand, never asking for anything in return. Now, as he focuses on healing and caring for his son, he needs our support more than ever. The funds raised will go directly toward covering medical bills and essential living expenses, helping Ray and his son get through this tough time without the added stress of financial worries.

If you know Ray, you know how much he means to his friends and community. He would never ask for help for himself, but I know that together, we can show him the same kindness he’s shown so many of us. Any support you can give—big or small—will make a real difference for Ray and his son. Thank you for being there for them when it matters most.
