Our hearts are heavy, but they are still full of hope.
As many of you know, our family has been facing an unimaginable medical crisis. My daughter-in-law suffered a major stroke caused by a brain infection. What began as something no one could have anticipated quickly turned into a fight for her life. For days, it was touch and go. She was on a ventilator, and we waited, prayed, and held our breath.
She has since been removed from the ventilator — a miracle we do not take lightly — but this is only the beginning of a long, uncertain road.
Her recovery will require intensive, live-in rehabilitation and ongoing medical care. The physical, cognitive, and emotional work ahead of her is enormous, and so is the financial burden that comes with it. Rehab of this level is not optional — it is essential for her chance at regaining independence and quality of life.
Our family has started a GoFundMe to help cover the cost of her rehabilitation, medical expenses, and the basic needs that come with caretaking during this time. If you are able to donate, share, or simply hold her in your thoughts and prayers, it means more than we can ever put into words.
For those who prefer, donations can also be made in person.
This is one of those moments where community truly matters. We are overwhelmed by the love already shown and humbled beyond measure. Please continue sending healing vibes, prayers, and strength — she feels them, and so do we.
Thank you for standing with us in this fight. 🖤✨
