Six months ago, my dad was full of life — dancing, walking, talking, living life and making everyone around him laugh. Today, he can no longer do those things or needs much assistance. At just 64 years old, our dad has been diagnosed with ALS, and it has taken away his independence faster than we could have ever imagined.

This came out of nowhere. One moment, he was helping others, fixing things around the house, and spending time with his children. Now, he needs help with even the simplest daily tasks. Watching someone you love — someone so strong, kind, and full of faith — lose their ability to move or speak is absolutely heartbreaking.

But even through all of this, my dad’s faith in God has never wavered. He is a humble, faithful servant of the Lord — a man who has always given more than he’s taken, who prays for others before himself, and who has shown us what true love and perseverance look like.

Our family is doing everything we can to make him comfortable and give him the care he deserves, but ALS comes with overwhelming medical and financial challenges — equipment, home modifications, travel to appointments, and caregiving support. We’re humbly asking for help to ease some of these burdens so we can focus on what matters most: spending precious time with our dad.

If you’re able to give, we are deeply grateful. If you can’t, please keep him in your prayers and share his story. Every donation, share, and prayer means the world to us.

“God is within him, he will not fall; God will help him at break of day.” – Psalm 46:5

God's strength never fails even when we feel ours does.
