Hi, my name is Brenae Pate, and I am the daughter of Matthew Pate. I am reaching out for support to help my father, who has been facing significant medical expenses following a stroke he suffered on Christmas night. Since then, he has undergone two major surgeries—an emergency procedure to remove a blood clot that caused the stroke, and a recent open-heart surgery to remove another clot above his heart. He has spent numerous days in the hospital, which has resulted in overwhelming medical bills. Without a job and with monthly bills piling up, the financial strain has become too much for him to handle. My family and I are struggling to manage these costs, and any support you can offer would mean the world to us during this incredibly difficult time.
