What began as a case of pneumonia has turned into a life‑altering emergency for Jason. He has now been in the hospital for over a week, fighting through complications that no one could have anticipated. He’s currently heavily sedated and relying on an ECMO machine to oxygenate his blood while his body works to heal. His progress has been slow—two steps forward, one step back—but the doctors remain hopeful, and so do we.

While Jason fights to recovery, his girlfriend, Katie, is fighting to keep life stable for her kids, Colton and Brooklynn. She’s working, caring for her children, and spending every spare moment at the hospital—often running on little sleep and even less certainty. The loss of Jason’s income means she’s now facing the need to move, all while trying to hold her family together during this scary time.

Right now, they need help with the basics: rent, groceries, and monthly bills. Medical expenses haven’t even begun to surface yet, and the road ahead includes weeks more in the hospital and physical therapy once Jason wakes and begins to recover.

If you’re able to give—even a few dollars—it would make a meaningful difference for this family. Your support would allow Katie to focus on her kids and on Jason’s recovery, instead of worrying about how to keep the lights on.

Thank you for taking the time to read their story, and for considering a donation. Your kindness truly matters.
