Our family is going through one of the scariest and most heartbreaking times of our lives.

My daughter recently attempted to take her own life by driving my truck and was involved in a devastating crash that left her in the ICU. Right now, our focus is on her recovery, making sure she knows she is loved, and doing everything we can to help her through this incredibly difficult time.

As her parent, I want to be there for her every step of the way. I currently work 12-hour shifts seven days a week to keep up with our expenses, and after work, I make the two-hour drive to the hospital to be by her side. The travel, gas, time away from home, and the uncertainty of what lies ahead are becoming overwhelming, but I will continue to do everything I can for my child.

There are many expenses we are facing or may face in the coming weeks and months, including travel to and from the hospital, medical expenses, potential legal expenses related to the accident, and other unexpected costs. I also need to make our home as safe as possible for when she is ready to return home. This includes installing security cameras, improving locks, and putting other safety measures in place to help protect her and give our family greater peace of mind.

This is not something I ever imagined our family would face. I am trying to balance working enough to keep everything going while also making sure my daughter knows she is not alone and that I am here for her.

I am asking for help because sometimes even doing everything you can simply isn't enough to cover everything life throws at you. Any donations will go toward these unexpected expenses, travel to the hospital, home safety improvements, and other needs that arise throughout her recovery. Funds will be used as needs develop, and I will do my best to prioritize the most urgent expenses.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much to us. Every donation, share, prayer, and kind word helps more than you know.

My daughter is so much more than this moment in her life. She deserves love, support, compassion, and the opportunity to heal. I want to give her the best chance possible to recover and come home to a safe, supportive environment.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who takes the time to read our story, share our fundraiser, or help our family in any way. We appreciate every bit of support during this difficult time more than words can express.
