Community Support Request

Friends, family, and community — as many of you know, TJ is still in the hospital, and my days are devoted to being by his side. While this is where I need to be, it also means I haven’t been able to earn my regular income. To add to the challenge, California does not provide temporary unemployment benefits in situations like mine.

This has created a real financial strain for our family. We’re doing our best to stretch resources, but we could use help. If you’re able to support us, here are a few ways that would make a meaningful difference:

• Financial contributions — we’ve set up a [donation page link here] where you can give directly.

• Meal support or gift cards — easing the daily logistics of food makes a huge impact.

• Sharing this post — spreading the word helps us reach others who may want to lend a hand.

• Encouragement and check-ins — your messages remind us we’re not alone in this.

We are so grateful for the love, encouragement, and generosity already surrounding us. Every bit of support helps us keep our focus on TJ’s healing and reminds us that we’re part of a strong, caring community.
