After a recent fall at work, I find myself in a tough spot. I was up on a ladder when it suddenly slipped, and I fell 15 feet, landing hard on top of it. My wrist broke in the fall, leading to a series of medical challenges that now require multiple surgeries. As the sole provider for my family, this has been a huge setback. Each day brings more bills from doctor visits and rehabilitation, and without the ability to work, I’m watching our savings disappear quickly.
Life in Galway, New York, has always been comfortable, if a bit tightly stretched. But now, with the escalating medical expenses, it feels like we’re in over our heads. The first of five surgeries is already behind me, and while recovering, I’ve had many moments of worry and fear about how we'll manage in the coming months. The weight of these financial pressures is daunting, and in sharing our story, I’m reaching out during this urgent time.
