Ryan’s Needs Help After Disability

Donation protected
For over a decade, I dedicated my life to helping others—volunteering as a firefighter for 11 years and working as a semi tow truck rotator operator, saving lives and supporting my community. I never imagined I’d be in a position where I’d need to ask for help myself.

Recently, I became disabled due to serious brain and neuropathy issues. I lost my DOT card and had to step away from both the fire department and my work at the semi shop. My health now makes it impossible to work, and I’m waiting for my attorney to complete my case with the ssdi. In the meantime, I have no income coming in, and I’m struggling to pay bills, feed my family, and keep our car. My credit is dropping, and I’m terrified of losing everything I’ve worked so hard for.

After years of helping everyone else, I’m reaching out to ask for help. It’s incredibly hard for me to do this, but I’m truly desperate. Any support you can give would mean the world to me and my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my story and considering a donation.
