To protect my employment and my family's insurance, I must remain anonymous. Please understand that sharing this is humiliating, but I have no other choice.
Imagine giving 21 years of your life to a company—never a complaint, never a write-up, just hard work. Now imagine that when your health falters, instead of support, you are pushed to the breaking point.
My Reality
I was born with physical challenges, but in 2021, I was officially diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. As the tremors and stiffness in my body worsened, the long hours in the field became impossible.
I asked my employer for one small mercy: to work a standard 40-45-hour week like my peers.
Instead, they took my salary and my company car. They forced me into an hourly role where I now have to work 55 to 60 hours a week just to make a fraction of what I used to earn.
The Breaking Point
At over 60 years old, these long days are destroying what is left of my physical health. I have already been hospitalized once this year. I need physical therapy, but I can't afford it. I need rest, but I can't afford that either.
My wife and I are doing everything right. She is picking up extra shifts. I am working through the pain. But with inflation up and my pay down, the math just doesn't work.
How You Can Help
Our only dream left is to secure our home. We are terrified that if my body gives out and I have to stop working, the bank will take our house.
We are asking for help to pay down our mortgage and cover looming medical bills. We are not looking for a lavish lifestyle; we are just looking for safety.
I am not posting this for sympathy and do not want anyone to donate if they cannot afford to. If you cannot donate, please share this story. It would mean the world to a family that has worked hard for decades and just needs a little grace.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I pray that God blesses you and thank you for reading, supporting, and sharing our journey.
