Help us through Loss, Medical Crisis and Recovery

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1


We are trusting God through a season we never could have imagined and humbly asking for help.


Over the past two years, our family has faced one hardship after another, and despite doing everything we know to do, we have reached a point where we cannot carry it alone.


At the end of 2023, I was diagnosed with cancer. Our small family business had to slow down significantly while I underwent surgery, chemotherapy, and recovery. Like many small businesses, stepping away even briefly created financial consequences that have continued long after the medical crisis itself.


When we were finally ready to rebuild and regain momentum, the work simply was not there. Contracts slowed, sales became inconsistent, and what should have been our recovery season became a prolonged financial struggle. We have fought hard to keep our household together, stay current on bills, and provide stability for our teenage son.


Then tragedy struck our family.


My only sibling my big brother passed away tragic and sudden, and with that loss came the emotional and financial burden of helping arrange his memorial and traveling out of state to be with family during this heartbreaking time.


And just as we were trying to process that grief, another emergency hit.


My husband was rushed to the emergency room after what we believed was severe acid reflux, only to learn he was suffering a heart attack. One of his previous heart stents had completely blocked. Doctors had to move quickly to save his life. By the grace of God, they restored blood flow and stabilized him.


We are deeply grateful he is still here.


But the reality is that his recovery is only beginning. There are additional procedures ahead, ongoing appointments, new medications, and major lifestyle adjustments. As our family’s primary provider and business partner, this medical emergency has created an immediate interruption in our ability to work and generate income.


Right now, we are facing:


• Medical expenses and prescriptions

• Upcoming cardiac procedures and follow-up care June 8,2026

• Travel expenses for my brother’s memorial July 22, 2026

• Mortgage and household bills falling behind

• Daily living expenses while income is disrupted


This is incredibly hard for us to share. Asking for help does not come easily.


We have always worked hard, served others, and trusted God to provide. But in this season of grief, healing, and financial crisis, we are humbly asking for support to help our family stay afloat while we navigate these overwhelming circumstances.


If you feel led to give, pray, or share this campaign, it would mean more than words can express.


Every gift—no matter the amount—helps lighten the burden and gives our family room to breathe as we grieve, heal, and rebuild.


Most of all, we ask for your prayers.


Thank you for standing with our family during one of the hardest seasons of our lives.


May God bless you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers.
