Richie, my husband, is facing a critical health journey that has changed our lives. He needs heart surgery in early August, followed by a double lung transplant soon after. The medical challenges are immense, and we are doing everything we can to support his recovery and well-being. The road ahead is uncertain, but we are hopeful that with the right care and support, Richie will have a chance at a healthier future. As you know, since Richie is a musician we will not have any income during this time either.

As Richie prepares for these surgeries, we are seeking financial support to help cover the costs of the procedures and rent while I stay with him at Stanford. The expenses are overwhelming, including medical bills, travel, and living costs. Your generosity will help us focus on his healing without the added stress of financial uncertainty. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference in Richie’s life and our family’s ability to stay together during this difficult time.

Any support would mean the world to us! Your kindness and contributions will help us navigate this journey and give Richie the best chance for recovery. Thank you for considering our fundraiser and for sharing it with others who may be able to help.
