I never wanted to set up a GoFundMe. If you know me, you know that asking for help isn’t something I take lightly. But the reality is—we truly need it.

The last two years have been full of career shifts, new challenges, and uncertainty. As we worked hard to rebuild, life threw us another curveball. In the past six months, my wife, Monse, has had two hospitalizations, each taking a huge toll on us physically, emotionally, and financially. Her first hospitalization nearly put her into a coma state, but we recently got good news—she transitioned from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism, which is far more manageable. Now, she’ll be able to have a normal diet again, and we can focus on her recovery.

We still have a long road ahead, especially with this latest hospitalization. On top of that, I’ve been working on my sobriety, making sure that through everything, I stay strong for my family. We’re looking forward to better days, but right now, we need some support to get there.

While we’ve done everything we can to stay afloat, medical expenses continue to pile up, and we find ourselves in a position where we really need help from friends and family. If you’re able to contribute, no matter how small, it would mean the world to us. And if you can’t, simply sharing this page and keeping us in your thoughts is more than enough.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your kindness and generosity will help us through one of the hardest seasons of our lives, and we appreciate you more than we can express.
