My mother Michele, a devoted wife and loving mom from Lafollette, TN, recently suffered a sudden stroke that has turned our world upside down. In her early 50s, she has always been a caring presence for our family, her two dogs Bella and Loki, and everyone around her. Her faith in Jesus and her close bond with my stepfather Chris have been her foundation, especially now as she faces the toughest challenge of her life. Michele has lost the use of her left side and is unable to walk, making daily life and recovery incredibly difficult. She is still in the hospital, enduring significant pain from bruising after several falls, and she is unable to work during this time.
The financial burden on our family is overwhelming. The costs of the ambulance ride, hospital stay, multiple CT and MRI scans, and ongoing physical therapy are mounting quickly. With no savings to fall back on, even basic needs like groceries are becoming a struggle. Chris is doing everything he can to support my mom, but the expenses are more than we can handle alone. Any support will go directly toward Michele’s medical bills, therapy, and essential living costs as she works toward recovery. Your help will make a real difference in giving my mom hope and stability during this incredibly difficult time.
