Sarah here.

We have had a rough couple of months with bad medical news. A lot is going on with the family, everything from wisdom teeth to back braces, and now Gabe started to not feel well. His heartbeats were off, blood pressure was high, and he ended up in the emergency room a few times, then started to see a cardiologist.

They determined that Gabe needs a few heart procedures regarding his heart valve and heart catheter with stents.

Gabe and I have been together for 10 years this coming February. He has been a wonderful, caring, and supportive partner and a wonderful stepfather.

He always helps provide for the family and for himself. If he's not buying and selling vintage sports cards, he is a very talented leather smith with hopes of opening his own shop someday.

Gabe was in the middle of starting his online leather selling store when all of this medical stuff happened to him. He was starting his own business and insurance needs, but things have been put on the back burner for now. The estimated cost of procedures is $10,000 upfront and maybe some monthly payments, but Gabe will be laid up for a while, and who knows when he'll get back to doing his work.

Please help if you can, and any amount is sufficient.

Please keep Gabe in your prayers and in your heart and mind.

God bless and thank you,

Sarah Madewell
