In June, our beloved Argile was rushed to the hospital struggling to breathe — the result of over 30 pounds of fluid buildup. For months, he had been quietly pushing through swollen legs and increasing fatigue, still showing up for work each day, trying to keep his landscaping business afloat with his wife, Amanda.

Since then, Argile's life has changed dramatically.

Doctors are still running critical tests on his heart and kidneys, and he’s now facing a complicated health journey. His blood pressure, weight, and blood sugar are being closely monitored, and every sip of water and bite of food must be carefully measured.

As if that weren't enough, we recently learned that Argile is now legally blind due to Diabetic Retinopathy — a heartbreaking diagnosis that has affected his vision severely. Though he is receiving treatment, doctors can only hope to slow the progression.

Unable to work and with his health rapidly declining, Argile and Amanda have been forced to make the painful decision to close their landscaping business — their livelihood. Bankruptcy has followed, and medical bills are stacking up fast.

We’re reaching out to our community — near and far — for help. Whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply holding Argile in your thoughts, every bit of support counts as we face the road ahead.

This fund will go directly toward medical expenses, treatments, and essential living costs as we determine the next steps for Argile's care and stability.

Argile is a staple of the many Omaha communities he is involved in. Over the past 20+ years he has donated time, energy and money to multiple community groups to ensure those around him are happy, well fed, and safe. He is one of the most consistently selfless people I've ever known, and now we have an opportunity to give back when he needs our help.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness and support.
