Help a Brave Veteran Overcome the Challenges of MS!

My name is Mark, and I am reaching out to share the story of my incredible wife, a veteran who served our country with unwavering dedication and courage. For the last 16 years she has been fighting and even greater battle against the relentless grip of multiple sclerosis (MS). This progressive and incurable disease has slowly taken away her physical Independence, yet it hasn't diminished her spirit. Every day, she faces the challenges of MS head-on, with the same determination and bravery that defined her year's of service. But the toll is heavy, and the obstacles are becoming harder to overcome.

MS has brought profound changes to our lives. Once active and self-reliant, my wife now depends on Mobility aids to navigate even the simplest of tasks. The disease affects her nervous system, making every step uncertain and every fall a terrifying possibility. Over the years, her condition has worsened leaving her more vulnerable and increasingly isolated. Despite this, she refuses to give up. Her strength inspires me every day, but I cannot ignore the growing urgency to provide her with a home that meets her needs and a place where she can live with dignity, safety and a renewed sense of independence.

While the VA has provided some support, a scooter, rollator, and occasional physical therapy, it falls short of addressing the realities of her daily life. Critical home modifications, such as ramps for safer entry, a stairlift for accessing different levels, and a walk-in tub for safe bathing, have all been denied. The cost of these modifications is overwhelming, and the VA has also ceased funding her PTSD treatments, which have been essential and helping her cope with the emotional scars and military service. Despite these setbacks, we remain hopeful, knowing that the kindness of others can bridge the gap and give her the support she so desperately needs.

Your contribution can be life-changing. The funds we raise will go towards vital home modifications: ramps to eliminate the constant risk of falls, a stairlift to give her access to the entire house, and a walk-in tub to provide safety and a relief from chronic pain. We also hope to explore stem cell therapy, which offers promising potential to slow the progression of MS, and continued her PTSD treatment, ensuring her mental health is cared for as much as her physical well-being. These changes won't just make our home accessible, they will restore the sense of normalcy, freedom, and hope for a brighter future.

This is more than a plea for help: it's an opportunity to make a tangible difference in the life of someone who has given so much for her country. Your generosity can help transform our home into a sanctuary where she can thrive, not just survive. Whether you donate, share our story, or offer a prayer, your support means everything to us. Together we can honor her service, alleviate her daily struggles, and give her the comfort and care she deserves. Thank you for standing with us in this fight, and may your kindness come back to you a hundredfold!
