After a year of medical crises, my family is days away from eviction. We have a toddler and a tween who need a stable place to sleep. We have fought this as hard as we can, and we still can’t catch up on our own.

About a year ago my wife was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Since then it’s been one urgent health problem after another. Most of the last twelve months has been hospitals, specialists, and recovery instead of normal life.

At the same time I started having my own health issues that keep me from working full-time. I’m still employed. I work every hour my body will let me. We are not sitting around waiting for a miracle. We’ve sold what we can, cut everything that isn’t survival, and still the bills have piled higher than we can climb.

Right now we are behind on nearly everything, and the rent is the most urgent. Without help we will lose the apartment.

The money raised here goes straight to overdue rent and the basic bills that keep the lights on and food in the house. That’s it. No extras. Just enough breathing room so we can keep our kids housed while we get back on our feet.

It is hard for me to ask. Pride doesn’t pay the landlord. Keeping my children safe does.

If you can give anything—$10, $25, whatever you can spare—it moves us closer to staying in our home. If you can’t give, please share this. One share can put our story in front of the person or church that can make the difference.

We are also grateful for any leads on local churches, charities, or programs that help families in crisis.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for praying. Thank you for whatever you can do.

God bless you.
