**Supporting the Mallari Family Through an Unimaginable Medical Crisis**

We all know the heavy burden of current finances, but nothing can prepare a family for a medical emergency of this magnitude. As you have watched Larry's incredibly intense 104-day hospital journey continue, we have come to realize there is a critical need for financial support.

**Larry's Story:**

What began as severe abdominal pain on June 8th has become a life-threatening battle with severe pancreatitis. Larry has undergone 7 major surgeries, spent months in the ICU some time on a ventilator, developed multiple complications including multi-drug resistant infections, and is currently fighting for his life after a critical splenic artery bleed.

**The Financial Reality:**

- 104 days of hospitalization at two different hospitals

- Thousands of miles driven between home and hospital

- Lost income from inability to work

- Medical bills mounting daily

- Ongoing expenses for a family managing crisis care while maintaining normal life for their children

Larry's recovery timeline is 6 months to a year for full abdominal healing, meaning this financial strain will continue long after he comes home.

The Mallari family has been overwhelmed by your generosity thus far and remains incredibly grateful and humbled by the outpouring of love they have received. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps them focus on Larry's recovery instead of financial stress.

Thank you for supporting this family through the hardest season of their lives.
