Help a Brave Veteran Overcome the Challenges of MS!

Donation protected
One moment, everything was normal, then life changed in an instant.

Shortly after returning from serving our country, my wife Melinda an incredibly dedicated veteran was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic and unpredictable disease that has slowly impacted every part of her life. For the past 14 years, she’s faced this battle with a kind of strength that continues to amaze me.

Hello, my name is Mark, and I’m raising funds to support my wife Melinda as her condition progresses. While the VA has provided vital resources like physical therapy, mobility aids, and basic home support, we’ve reached a point where more significant modifications are urgently needed to make our home safe and accessible.

Now that her mobility has declined further, our goal is to make the house more comfortable and easier for her to navigate. The funds we’re raising will go toward essential upgrades like:

  • Ramps for safe entry and exit
  • A walk-in tub to ease her daily pain
  • A stair lift to access both floors
  • Safer flooring and additional handrails

These changes will dramatically improve her quality of life, allowing her more independence and peace of mind and giving me the tools to support her more safely and effectively.

Watching her face this illness day after day has been incredibly hard, but she continues to inspire me with her determination. I want to give her the gift of comfort and dignity in her own home. Every donation brings us closer to that goal. Your kindness truly means the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story ♥ .
