Support Ray's Brain Aneurism Recovery

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Kate, and I’m reaching out for support for my dad, Ray, and his amazing wife, Marsha. Ray is 70 and was still laying bricks with pride, but he recently survived a life-threatening brain aneurysm and now faces a tough road to recovery. We're rallying together to help cover their bills while we work out a longer-term plan.

Ray and Marsha are incredible people who have faced more than their share of struggles over the years. Just in the past few, my dad has had a heart attack and needed both hips replaced, one after the other. COVID, coupled with these health battles, has made finances extremely tight for them, and to make matters harder, they were recently forced to move to a much pricier home through no fault of their own. After months of stress and worry, this November, an aneurysm in his brain burst. He's a fighter—and we're grateful he’s still here with us—but now he needs time to recover.

In a difficult time for all, even the smallest contribution to help cover their bills in the coming months would mean the world. Your support could allow my dad to focus on healing without the stress of financial strain on him and Marsha.

It’s a rocky road ahead, but as The Beatles wisely put it, we get by with a little help from our friends. Thank you for any help you can give, and for being part of their journey to recovery.
