My dad is a 64-year-old chef who's been working for over 50 years to provide for his family and feed others. He's known to some as Curt the Cook, but he's our dad, our Pop Pop, and the glue to our family. He was set to retire next year, but unfortunately, retirement has been delayed.

He is currently in the ICU after suffering a stroke. With physical and speech therapy, he will recover, THANK GOD! But it will be a lengthy recovery, forcing him to call it quits before he can retire.

This leaves the burden of financial hardship as he is no longer capable of working. He deserves to rest! We are asking for help so he can adjust accordingly as this is an extremely hard time.

Any and all donations will go straight to him to help cover the costs of medical bills and keep a roof over his head as the winter holidays roll in. If you made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read his story. If you can't donate, we ask that you share in hopes that someone who can, will. We are always accepting prayers! Thank you so much and God bless.
