Summer's Story
Total Assistance: $22,000.02
“Unfortunately, on a single income, the bills have been piling up and we just don’t have enough to make ends meet. I don’t want to lose our home or my job because I can’t pay for daycare for my youngest son.”
One fall day in 2021, Summer’s husband Greg suffered a completely unexpected and devastating ischemic stroke. This occurred after he suffered a neck injury at work. He was rushed to the hospital but suffered lasting effects that impacted his ability to talk and move independently. Since the stroke, he hasn’t worked and Summer has become the sole breadwinner for their family of five.
In addition to caring for her husband through in-patient, in-home and outpatient rehab, Summer has had to care for their three young sons on her own, as well. Their youngest is just a little over one year old. And while Greg is making great strides in his recovery, they still don’t know when he’ll be able to go back to work. Without his income, the family doesn’t know how much longer they can stay in their home and continue to rebuild their lives.
Thanks to the generous support of donors like you, we’re proud to help this strong mother and wife get through this difficult time and support the family as they prepare for better days ahead.
