Our family is rallying around my brother, Andrew, who is a 23-year-old man with a deep love for the Lord and a heart for people. If you know him, you know his passion — barbering isn’t just his job, it’s his calling. He pours creativity, care, and connection into every client he serves.
Andrew works at Forever Faded Barber Shop, a place that feels more like a ministry than a workplace — full of faith, encouragement, and community. He loves what he does, and it shows.
Recently, however, Andrew has been facing serious health issues that have caused extreme weakness in his arms, making it impossible for him to continue working. This has been incredibly hard for someone whose livelihood depends entirely on the use of his hands.
Because of this, he is having to move back home for support and medical care. He is currently undergoing extensive neurological testing and is being sent to a specialty clinic so doctors can determine the cause and, prayerfully, find answers. Right now, there is a lot of uncertainty — but we are trusting God through it all.
Unfortunately, being unable to work has also meant running out of income, while medical expenses and daily living costs continue. This GoFundMe is to help cover:
• Basic living expenses
• Medical appointments and testing
• Transportation
• Essentials during this season of rest and healing
If you feel led to give, please know that every dollar helps and is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to give, prayers and sharing this page mean just as much.
We believe God is near to the brokenhearted and faithful in every season. Thank you for loving and supporting my brother during this difficult time.
With gratitude and faith,
