After experiencing a stroke, I have been living with aphasia, which has made it difficult to communicate and manage daily life. The effects on my speech have been challenging, and I am also dealing with depression and anxiety as I work through recovery. These changes have made it hard to return to my normal routine and have impacted my ability to work and connect with others.

I am raising funds to help cover the costs of ongoing speech therapy and counseling. These treatments are essential for my recovery, but the expenses add up quickly. My family—my mom, dad, Mike, and Cate—along with close friends Amanda and Pete, have been by my side, offering support and encouragement every step of the way. Their help means a lot, but the financial burden is still significant.

Your support will help me access the therapy and counseling I need to regain my communication skills and improve my mental health. Every contribution brings me closer to recovery and a better quality of life. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any help you can provide.
