I am preparing for a kidney transplant in the near future, and while I am hopeful for a successful recovery, the financial challenges ahead are weighing heavily on me. I’ve already accumulated medical debt from ongoing treatments, and after my surgery, I’ll be on disability. Unfortunately, disability payments can take weeks or even months to arrive, and even then, they don’t cover my full paycheck. Right now, I’m living paycheck to paycheck, and the uncertainty is overwhelming.

The funds I raise here will go directly toward covering my family’s living expenses during my recovery. With a four-year-old daughter, Addie, and a seven-month-old son, it’s crucial for us to keep our home stable and secure. If we were to lose our house to foreclosure, it would be devastating for Addie’s development and deeply stressful for my wife, who is currently breastfeeding our son. The thought of adding financial stress to an already difficult time is something I want to avoid for their sake.

I’m reaching out for help because I want to give my family the best chance at stability while I recover. Any support you can offer—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing my story—would mean the world to us. Thank you for taking the time to read about our situation and for considering a contribution to help us through this challenging chapter.
