Please help Volunteer Firefighter, EMT, and Loving Husband
Donation protected
My name is Adam, and I’m reaching out for support as I prepare for rear foot reconstructive surgery, scheduled for July 17th. This procedure is necessary due to ongoing pain and mobility issues that have made it nearly impossible to get through my workdays. I work as a heavy equipment field technician, a job that requires me to be on my feet and active, but lately, the pain has forced me to step back from my duties. Making it very difficult to care for my family and our animals.
In addition to my job, I’ve proudly served as a volunteer firefighter for over 20 years and have held my EMT certification for 4 years to better help my community. Unfortunately, my condition has also meant taking a leave of absence from the fire department, which has been a difficult decision. My recovery is expected to take a minimum of 13 and possibly up to 17 weeks, during this period I’ll be unable to work and will need help covering my mortgage, utilities, and basic living expenses. The funds raised will also help me take care of my family and our animals while I recover, making sure everyone’s needs are met during this challenging time. This is for my right foot as it is the worst, I will have to also have my left foot operated on after I recover from this surgery.
Your support will help me focus on healing and getting back to both my career and my volunteer work in the community. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a real difference as I work toward recovery and returning to the work and service I care about.
I ask that if you can donate or not please share, and Pray for myself and my family as we begin this very difficult journey.
“For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”

Picture 3 shows how my right foot is rolled in so bad that the outside doesn’t touch the floor because the tendons are torn. What looks like swelling in my ankle is actually the tendon that is bunched up.
