Help David and Family Overcome Health Challenges
Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,
We are reaching out during an incredibly challenging time for our family. Two weeks ago, our world was turned upside down when our son, David, woke up in tears, complaining of severe pain. In a state of panic, we rushed him to the emergency room, where the doctors conducted a series of tests. What we learned that day was nothing short of devastating: David was diagnosed with an infection caused by several tumors found in his testes.
The news we received was harrowing—doctors informed us that these masses had an alarming 85% chance of being a rare form of testicular cancer. This diagnosis has shattered our family and left us grappling with fear and uncertainty about David’s future. As we navigate this difficult journey, we are determined to fight for his health and well-being, but we need your support to help us through this challenging time.
As we navigate this uncertain journey, and a cruel twist of fate, we are also dealing with our own health issues that have left us unable to work.
I, his father, recently suffered a work-related accident in November that has resulted in nerve damage, preventing me from returning to my job for the foreseeable future. Additionally, his mother experienced a serious fall at work, which severed cartilage in her knee, further complicating our situation and leaving both of us without our normal source of income.
With mounting medical bills and everyday expenses, we are beggining to struggle to make ends meet. We are asking for your support to help alleviate some of the financial burden during this difficult time. Any funds raised will go directly towards our bills, allowing us to focus on our son’s health and well-being without the added stress of financial strain.
We understand that times are tough for many, and we appreciate any support you can offer, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing our story. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us as we fight for our son’s health and work towards recovery as a family.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story. We are grateful for any help you can provide.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Skylar, Rilynn, and David
