Ryan, my husband, has been suffering from a painful condition called HS, which was only recently diagnosed after two years; he currently has 6 holes across his chest which is leading to immense pain. He works in hard labor, which has not allowed him to heal. After meeting with a specialist, we learned that the only way to relieve his symptoms is through surgery to remove the affected area across his chest, followed by a skin graft. The recovery process will be long—at least 6-8 weeks—and during this time, Ryan will not be able to work. He has tried to work over the past 2 months but only able to withstand a couple of hours a week, if at all.

This has put a tremendous strain on our family. My income, paid biweekly, is unfortunately not enough to cover all our bills, gas, and groceries. The funds raised will go directly toward rent and any medical fees that may arise during Ryan’s recovery. Your support will help us keep a roof over our heads, our children's needs met, and ensure Ryan can focus on healing without the added stress of financial worries.

Asking for help is not easy for us, but this support will bring peace of mind to both myself and especially Ryan, who has always worked incredibly hard and pushed through pain to provide for our family. We are deeply grateful for any help, and your kindness allows us to focus more on our children and Ryan’s health. Thank you for reading our story and considering a donation to help our family through this difficult time.
