Hi Friends,

I am reaching out with deep humility and hope. Over the next few months, I am facing a series of major surgeries: a heart ablation, double knee replacements, and another unexpected breast surgery related to my previous cancer treatment. These procedures are necessary, but they come at a time when my body and spirit are already stretched thin.

I've been living with multiple chronic conditions- AFIB, Costochondritis, Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia (stage 6), Degenerative joint pain, and severe sensitivities to medications and anesthesia. On top of that, I am still strongly grieving the unimaginable loss of both my boys (dogs) this year. It's been a heavy road.

Over the past ten years, I've undergone 12 surgeries and always found a way to bounce back-working hard, staying strong, and pushing through. But the last few years have taken a toll financially and physically. I've struggled to maintain enough work to cover my expenses, and my body simply isn't cooperating the way it used to.

I've always been self-supported, working full-time (and often more) since I was 15. But between chronic pain, Fatigue, and complications from past surgeries- including back surgery, hysterectomy, breast cancer and more- I'm now facing months of recovery with no income.

I am asking for help covering basic living expenses- mortgage, utilities and monthly bills- while I go through these surgeries and recover.

If financial support isn't possible, your Love and Prayers mean the world to me.

I've hesitated to ask for help because so many of you have already been so incredibly generous. But I've reached a point where I can't do this alone anymore. I am worn down- mentally, physically, emotionally- and I need your support to get through this next chapter.

Thank you for reading my story, for your kindness, and for being part of my journey. I am praying that 2026 will be the year I finally get to heal without another surgery on the horizon.

With Much Love, Gratitude, (and Chocolate!),

Chris
