Yesterday, we received the difficult news that my husband Rob will need to undergo another open heart surgery. This was completely unexpected and has turned our world upside down. I recently started a new job and, unfortunately, I do not have any paid time off yet. The costs of travel, food, and hotel stays for Rob’s surgery and recovery are more than we can manage right now, and the stress of not knowing how we’ll cover these expenses is overwhelming.

The funds raised will go directly toward gas for traveling to and from the hospital, meals while we’re away from home, hotel costs during Rob’s hospital stay, and any bills that may come due while I am off work and unpaid. Your support will help ease the financial burden on our family so we can focus on Rob’s health and recovery without the added worry of making ends meet.

I want to thank everyone who is able to help, as well as those who can only offer prayers. It’s never easy to ask for help, but knowing there are friends, family, and even kind strangers who care enough to support us means more than words can say. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being there for us during this difficult time.
