Support Gary's Surgery and Louise's Care

Hello! Stephanie here reaching out regarding my parents, Gary and Louise Sowatzka. They were one of those lucky couples to find each other early in life. Falling in love with one other at 15 & 16. They have been together ever since, 58 years and counting.

Unfortunately, 15 years ago my mom developed Alzheimer’s. It has been devastating and heartbreaking to say the least. I’m grateful that she has loving family members to care for her and protect her. To see my Dad go through the pain of watching his wife go through everything that this disease entails is truly indescribable.

As a tile setter/applicator and general contractor my Dad still physically works everyday to provide for his wife. When he gets home from working so hard, in pain from arthritis and two bad knees, he cares for my mom as her primary caregiver.

He is going in to have one of two knee surgeries next week. We’ve been told that it may take up to three months to heal and for him to be able to return to work.

I’m reaching out to you all to ask for help to cover my parents bills during these difficult times. Anything is very much appreciated along with your positive thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please stay safe out there my friends.
