Support Joe's Battle with Liver Disease and Arthritis

Hi! My name is Stacy and this is the last thing I thought I would be doing, but we need some help.

A few years ago, my husband Joe, at the age of 47, was diagnosed with liver disease and most recently Rheumatoid Arthritis. His diagnosis has led to numerous doctor visits, tests, and treatments, which have quickly accumulated into substantial medical bills. Despite having health insurance, the out-of-pocket expenses have become overwhelming.

Joe is the hardest working man I know, as those who know him would agree. His health situation has taken an unexpected turn, and we are struggling to cover the costs of the necessary medical issues he has.

The total cost of the medical bills to date are approximately $14,000. We are unable to cover this amount because of his limited income due to having to take time off for doctors and the pain he is constantly in. I am employed full time and the bills are still piling up. This financial burden is causing significant stress and impacting his ability to focus on his recovery.

I am reaching out here in hopes we can raise a little money to help not only ease the financial burden but to give him some mental peace and allow him to relax and focus on his health. We are not greedy people and would give the shirt off our backs to someone if they needed it. I am hoping to show him that there are people out there that are the same. He is a proud man who has worked his whole life and father of 2 amazing kids. He doesn’t ask for handouts but we have to this time.

Any contribution you can make, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated and would go a long way in alleviating the financial strain we are currently facing.

If you can’t contribute, we totally understand. Times are hard for everyone, sharing this will help also.

We thank you in advance.

-Stacy and Joe Stafford
