The Melvin Family Fundraiser

Donation protected
After a brave decision to take an early partial retirement from the fire department in 2020 due to PTSD (hypervigilance syndrome), depression, and anxiety, Buster has been making progress in his recovery with the help of psychiatric medications and physiotherapy. However, their journey took an unexpected turn when Cheryl, Buster's devoted wife of 30years, underwent two neck surgeries in May and June. The stress of these surgeries, coupled with the financial burden of both Buster and Cheryl being out of work during their recovery, proved to be overwhelming for Busterand he has been unable to work since then, leaving him without any income.

Buster has recently begun specialized therapies to address his conditions, but these therapies conflict with his ability to maintain his full-time job. As a result, the family is facing significant financial strain. In this challenging time, any support you can offer would be immensely appreciated by Buster, Cheryl, and their entire family. Your contribution will not only help alleviate their financial burden of making ends meet and paying for medical expenses, but also provide them with the means to continue Buster's crucial therapies.

Your generosity will make a profound difference in their lives, enabling them to navigate this difficult period with hope and resilience. Thank you for considering supporting this GoFundMe campaign.
