Help for the Westfall family❤️

I've started this fundraiser for Chad Westfall & our family. 

As you may know, Chad owns his own business; WV Tech Tire. Unfortunately like most have, we've struggled since the beginning of 2020 due to medical issues and the covid19 pandemic. 

Chad lost his father, Larry Westfall, in July of 2020. Shortly after he started having terrible luck with work trucks; Breakdowns, continued repairs, etc. As the pandemic has continued the demand for tires and tire supplies has diminished to almost nothing. As that went on, Chad's physical health began to rapidly decline and he was diagnosed with kidney cancer September of 2021. He was physically incapable to working full time but was doing as much as he could. In February of 2022 Chad was hospitalized at Ohio state university hospital and had half of his left kidney removed. What was supposed to be a 6 week recovery, sadly turned into a 4 month recovery. During that time Chad was unable to work but with the help of his mother & her husband, we were able to keep our heads above water. In March of 2022 we lost my mother, Gale Plough, to Cancer. In June of 2022 I was hospitalized and had emergency gallbladder removal surgery. 

Sadly the overwhelming stress of these events, his struggling business, and the pressure to not lose everything we've worked so hard for or let down his family; caused Chad to have a full mental breakdown.

Currently Chad is hospitalized at St. Mary's because the weight on his shoulders had caused him to feel suicide was the only way out of this mess. By the Grace of God, he came to the conclusion that inpatient care was the only way to keep him here with us. 

As his wife, I've chosen to swallow my pride and ask for help. I'm in hopes to raise enough money to get our bills up to date, so we won't lose the farm Chad loves so much. Additionally, if possible I'd love for Chad come home and have even a month where he could focus on his mental health and his business; without having to immediately worry about getting the money to keep the lights on.

I know you all love this man, myself and our children. Please help me, help us.
