Dear family and friends,

It feels like this year has just been one challenge after another, and it's hard to admit that we need help. A series of illnesses and transportation issues over the past several months have put us in a tough financial spot, particularly with our rent. We're a couple of months behind and urgently need to catch up. Asking for assistance is not easy for me, but any donation you can give would be a tremendous blessing and help us reach our goal before September 25.

I know we'll get through this, and I want to thank you for your generosity in advance. Please know that we are okay, and we just need some help to get back on our feet. On a more personal note, I'm going to see my surgeon on September 23rd. Your prayers would mean so much to me.

Thank you for everything. God bless."
