Our family has always faced challenges head on, relying on the support of close family and friends. Now, we’re reaching out beyond our circle to ask for help for my little brother, Hayden. Just weeks after his 50th birthday, Hayden suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm. Luckily he made it to the hospital and underwent surgery to repair the aneurysm. He spent two weeks in the ICU recovering. We are so grateful that he survived this ordeal and that he's tested negative for brain damage after such a severe bleed.

Hayden is now home, but his recovery is far from over. He’s not allowed to lift heavy things or exert himself, and he can’t return to work for at least a couple of weeks. He’s signed up for a food program that delivers meals to his door, but by the time he receives his next paycheck, it will have been over a month without income. This means he’s struggling to cover rent and bills, especially as the holidays approach.

We’re asking friends, family, and anyone who can to help Hayden recover some of his lost wages due to this medical emergency. Any amount will help, and your support will make a real difference as he focuses on healing. Please help us show Hayden how grateful we are that he’s still with us, and let’s come together to support him through this difficult time.
