Hey everyone,

I got out of the hospital Wednesday night after surgery. Thank God it went well, and I’m set to go back to work November 17th. Right now though, things are really tough.

I’ve been out of work since March 1st after a bad car accident. I used all three months of paid FMLA, and everything else I had is gone. Every safety net we had is empty. I’ve sold my motorcycle and anything I owned that had value just to keep up, but it’s still not enough.

We now have a current eviction notice for November. Rent is 2,000. PUD electric is 600 behind, which covers three months of overdue bills. PSE gas is another 500 behind. Insurance for the house and vehicles is 250, and the family phone bill is 300. It costs about 130 just to fill the truck, and we still have to buy food and basic things the food bank doesn’t cover. Our bank account is also negative, which makes it even harder to catch up.

I hate asking for help, but I don’t have any other option left. I’m just trying to keep my wife and kids stable until I can start earning again.

The help people gave before kept us going through the worst of it, and I’ll never forget that. I’m so thankful for everyone who donated, prayed, or checked in. That support got us this far. But the money is gone, and the bills didn’t stop.

We just need enough to make it through this month — to keep our home, feed the kids, and get by until I’m back at Boeing.

What the funds will help cover:

Rent, overdue utilities with PUD and PSE, food, gas, insurance, and other essential bills while we recover and wait for my first paycheck on November 17th. This will also help us catch up on a few past-due balances and get our account back above water.

Even a few dollars or a share makes a difference.

Thank you for helping us keep fighting.

Victor and Ashley
