My name is Eric, and I’m reaching out during a challenging time for my wife, Amy, and I. I am preparing for open heart surgery to replace a valve, a procedure that comes with a long recovery. My doctors expect that I will be off work for about three months. While I am grateful to have short term disability, it only covers 70% of my income, leaving us with a gap as we try to keep up with our regular bills and living expenses.

We are truly blessed that our medical costs are covered since we’ve met our out-of-pocket maximum, but the reality is that everyday expenses—like our mortgage, utilities, and other bills—can’t be postponed. As I focus on healing, the financial strain is a heavy weight on our shoulders. Your support would help us bridge this gap and allow me to recover without the added stress of falling behind on essential needs.

We would be so grateful for any help you can offer, whether it’s a donation or simply lifting us up in prayer. Please pray for a successful surgery, peace for Amy as she waits, and a smooth, complication-free recovery. Thank you for being part of our community and for considering supporting us during this time.
