I recently underwent life-saving open-heart surgery after months of congenital heart failure and major complications. By God’s grace, the care of skilled doctors, and the prayers of many, I am recovering. I’m out of the ICU, walking, eating, and talking again — but my healing journey is far from over.
My doctors require me to remain in Portland for at least three months (and possibly longer) for follow-up appointments, IV antibiotics, and cardiac rehabilitation. Unfortunately, I don’t have stable housing here. The only realistic option right now is renting an Airbnb or other temporary housing near the hospital. On top of housing, I need help covering:
• Basic living expenses (food, phone, transportation to appointments)
• Medical recovery costs not covered by insurance
• A safe, quiet place to heal as I rebuild my strength
So far, nearly $1,000 has been raised, and I am deeply grateful for every gift. But my recovery requires several more months of housing and living support — and I cannot do it alone.
How you can help:
• Donations of any size are a blessing.
• Sharing this campaign with your networks means more people can help.
• Your prayers, encouragement, and messages keep me moving forward every day.
This has been the hardest season of my life — losing my home, my belongings, and now fighting my way back from major surgery — but I believe God is restoring me step by step. Thank you for standing with me as I heal and work toward stability again.
