<div>02/13/2026
</div>
<div>I just wanted to give everyone an update. Patrick is finally at home recovering slowly, two major surgeries in a few weeks, really put a strain on his body. Prayers are still needed for his quick recovery so he can return to work. He was released from his position, and lost his insurance in the middle of all this, they told him they couldn’t hold his job for him any longer. So now, not only is he trying to recover he’s worried about finding a job so he can get back to work. Please keep sharing this post and praying. Hopefully he will be able to return to work shortly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>01/30/2026 UPDATE: He has had all tubes removed and gotten out of bed for the first time since the second surgery. He is still in an immense amount of pain though. He seems to be showing signs of finally slowly getting better. It will still be awhile before he will be released from the hospital, but it looks like we are on the road to recovery. I wanted thank everyone again for your donations and sharing, please keep sharing and donations are appreciated!
</div>

</div>
<div>01/24/2026 UPDATE: I wanted to give an update today Saturday Jan 24th, Patrick was rushed back into emergency surgery had a six hour surgery. That’s two surgeries now and he has a long recovery ahead of him. Please pray for him share this post and donate if you can, and thank you for all the prayers!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I never imagined we would be writing something like this, and asking for help, is not easy for us. But right now, Patrick and his children are facing circumstances we cannot manage on our own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Patrick is in the hospital awaiting surgery to remove fifty percent of his colon due a severe diverticulitis. He has been in and out of the hospital several times over the last few months and only been able to work a few days since this started.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He recently started a new position to provide his family with better medical insurance but unfortunately has not been there 90 days to qualify for paid medical leave. All of his time off has been and will be UNPAID, we do not know how long he will be out of work for recovery after his surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now with the medical bills mounting, rent, utilities, truck payment, daycare, and everyday expenses still needing to be paid, he is overwhelmed and deeply worried about keeping his family afloat.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many of you have asked how you can help. We are looking to cover immediate living costs and medical expenses during this crisis. Any support—whether through donations, sharing this page, or keeping us in your thoughts and prayers—means more than words can express.
</div>
