Hi everyone,
I'm reaching out to ask for help on behalf of two of the hardest-working, most generous people I know, my folks, Jim & Candy.
Less than 2 weeks ago, our world turned upside down. While at work, my dad Jim, suffered a traumatic abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture after an impact. It was a grave, life-threatening emergency and one that very few survive.
He endured two ruptures, emergency surgery, days on a ventilator, and an uncertain prognosis. Thanks to an incredible medical team and sheer determination, he survived. In fact, true to form, he asked when he could go back to work the day after coming off the ventilator. That’s just who he is.
Now, Jim is home recovering, but he has a long road ahead. He can’t work, and my mom Candy is now his full-time caregiver. With no income coming in, they’re facing mounting medical costs and everyday bills, and as proud as they are, they would never ask for help themselves. In fact, my sister was the first to share this, and they have just messaged saying they don't want a GoFundMe. If strength and stubbornness paid the bills, they would be doing great.
So I’m asking for them.
We’ve started a GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden while they focus on healing. Even $5 helps, and if you can’t donate, please consider sharing the link. The more eyes on this, the more support we can gather.
They’ve spent their lives showing up for others—offering rides, meals, help with home projects, shoveling snow, painting houses—you name it. Now it’s our turn to show up for them.
If you are looking for more info, you can access regular updates through the GoFundMe link.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. And please keep them in your prayers. Please share this post!
