Hi, and thank you for taking the time to read our story.

My fiancé, Kyle, and I have always been private people, so asking for help is not something that comes easily. However, we've reached a point where we need to lean on the kindness of others.
Earlier this year, Kyle had to take a leave of absence from work because severe anxiety and panic attacks made it impossible for him to continue working. In the months leading up to that, he was also grieving the loss of his grandmother, and shortly after beginning his leave, he underwent emergency surgery. While he's made incredible progress with his physical recovery, his mental health has continued to be an uphill battle. Watching someone you love want nothing more than to get better, yet continue to struggle despite every effort, has been incredibly difficult.

After trying multiple medications without success, his doctors now believe his anxiety is treatment resistant and have referred him to psychiatry to explore alternative treatment options. He's also in the process of applying for disability benefits, but the process is long, and there's no certainty about when or if those benefits will be approved.

Since his leave benefits ended, we've been relying on my income and the generosity of family to get by. We've done everything we can to stay afloat, but the financial strain has become overwhelming. More than anything, I want Kyle to be able to focus on his recovery without the constant fear of how we'll pay our bills.

Any funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward essential expenses like rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, medical bills, and ongoing treatment costs. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease some of that burden and give us the breathing room we need during this difficult time.

If you're not in a position to donate, simply sharing our story would mean the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any kindness, generosity, or support you can offer. We are deeply grateful for every person who stands beside us as we navigate this journey.
