<div>Fighting Heart Failure While Caring for My Children
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi everyone, my name is Yahyah Muhammad, and I never imagined I’d be writing something like this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Earlier this year, after battling a severe case of COVID, I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). My heart function had dropped to just 10%, and doctors said I was lucky to still be alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since May, I’ve been fighting back through cardiac rehab, strict medications, and lifestyle changes. I’m now up to 20% heart function, and while that’s progress, my daily life has completely changed. I’m unable to work like I used to, and my focus now is healing, staying strong for my children, and rebuilding our stability one day at a time.

<div>❤️ About My Family
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m a father of five biological children and two stepchildren — they’re my entire world. Before I got sick, I worked hard and earned a substantial income to provide them with the stability every child deserves. But this illness changed everything almost overnight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Within nine months, I went from being a provider to fighting to keep the lights on, food on the table, and gas in the car to get to rehab. My rainy-day fund ran out trying to keep us afloat as medical bills, travel expenses, and the cost of daily living piled up.

<div>What I’m Asking For
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While I’m waiting for Social Security Disability approval, my family and I need help covering:
</div>
<div>• Rent and essential bills
</div>
<div>• Travel to cardiac rehab and doctor appointments
</div>
<div>• Food and basic necessities for my children
</div>
<div>• Ongoing medical costs not covered by insurance
</div>
<div>• Everyday needs for the kids as the holidays approach
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every single dollar will go directly toward these essentials while I continue cardiac rehab and healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div>Why I’m Asking for Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve always been someone who took pride in standing on my own two feet. Asking for help isn’t easy for me — but my reality has changed. <strong>My children need me alive and stable, and I’m doing everything in my power to make that happen.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation, no matter how small, makes a real and immediate difference. It helps keep our household running, ensures I can keep attending rehab, and gives my kids the peace of mind that their father is still fighting for them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div>Thank You
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading my story, for sharing, and for supporting us in any way you can — whether that’s through a donation, a share, or even a prayer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every bit of encouragement helps me push through another day of recovery. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in me and my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude and faith,
</div>
<div>– Yahyah Muhammad &amp; Family
