Support John’s Recovery After Amputation

My name is John, and I’m reaching out for support as I recover from a life-changing medical event. Late last year, I developed a severe infection in my right foot that wouldn’t heal, despite surgery to try and remove the bacteria. As the infection spread and began to affect my overall health, my doctors made the difficult decision to amputate my foot below the knee. This was a devastating moment for me, and it forced me to resign from my job in December 2024, leaving me without a source of income.

Since then, I’ve been working hard to adapt to my new reality. I recently received my prosthetic and am about to begin intensive physical and occupational therapy at a rehabilitation center. My goal is to learn to walk again, regain my independence, and eventually return to work. The journey has been overwhelming, both emotionally and financially. My immediate family has been incredibly supportive, but the costs of medical bills, therapy, and daily living expenses have quickly added up. I’ve had to rely on credit cards just to get by, which has added to my stress and anxiety.

Your support would help me cover urgent medical bills and living costs, allowing me to focus on my recovery and reduce the depression and stress that come from being unable to work. With your help, I can get the therapy I need, work toward regaining my independence, and hopefully return to work so I can pay it forward to others in need. Thank you for considering being part of my journey to recovery.

We’re heartbroken to share that our dear friend Alex passed away far too soon. His light, his laughter, his incredible spirit — they touched so many, and his absence is deeply felt.
