Help our family after unexpected crisis

Donation protected

My name is Heidi, and I'm reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your urgent support during what has become an unbelievably challenging and desperate time for my family. We are at a breaking point, and frankly, I don't know what else to do. We've always been hard-working providers for our family, and have never been in a predicament like this before.


My husband, TJ, dedicated 26 years of his life to a company, only to be made redundant. This devastating blow was immediately followed by an unimaginable crisis: he suffered a life-threatening brain hemorrhage requiring emergency brain surgery. The aftermath has been a long and arduous journey, leaving him with debilitating ongoing side effects including a permanent ringing in his ears, overwhelming tiredness, and constant headaches, among other symptoms. These have made it impossible for him to work.

As if that wasn't enough, we recently received the terrifying news that TJ has another aneurysm. We are now anxiously awaiting information on the next steps, praying for a path forward that doesn't involve another life-threatening surgery. The doctors have already warned us that another brain hemorrhage could be fatal, a constant, crushing fear that looms over us, threatening to leave our four children and granddaughter without a father and grandad.


Just when I thought we couldn't take any more, I was made redundant from my job. This was a crushing blow, as my income was crucial in supporting our family. Since then, I have applied for 25 jobs and have been unsuccessful in every single one. It feels like companies just don't want to give me a chance, despite how much I have to offer. I'm counting every penny, desperately trying to find ways to make money, even selling homemade crafts and our belongings.


The financial strain is immense. We own our family home, a place filled with cherished memories, but with the rising cost of living and the added burden of TJ's essential, lifelong medications, we are struggling profoundly to keep up.

This relentless struggle has taken a devastating toll on our family's mental health. I've hit a major low; I'm sinking into depression and sometimes feel like the only way out is to not exist. I feel like a complete failure, like I've let my family down. Our children are suffering too. This is no life for them, and their mental health is being deeply affected by the constant stress and uncertainty.


My greatest fear, besides losing my husband, is the prospect of us becoming homeless and losing everything we've spent our lives working so hard for. . We are humbly asking for your help, especially now with the added worry of his new aneurysm.


Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Your kindness and generosity will provide us with a crucial lifeline during this incredibly difficult time.


Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion and support. ❤️
