To whom is reading this,
I honestly do not know where to start so please bear with me. This fundraising is for the love of my life, my wonderful, beloved husband. Our beautiful journey began in 2020 in midst of chaos, even though what was a tough time for everyone, for us, hopes of a beautiful life had started. God had blessed us in so many ways for our wedding that I don't have enough time or room to tell you all about it just yet . I was a single mother when I had met my husband. He welcomed my daughter as if she was his own. His love, strength and sacrifice that he has made for our family is something that should truly be honored! He is the hardest working man I know and has always loved us with sacrificial love.
So, what happened? Through the past five years we have had some pretty big challenges that has put everything to a halt. Most of them being constant decline of my husband's health.
After our wedding, a few months later when he was at work, he severely injured his foot causing him to not be able to walk normal again. His ancle has been out of line for quit sometime along with his foot not being in proper alignment so the tendon could heal correctly. Even though we tried to get workman's comp he was not able to get the proper treatment that was needed to help with the issue.
Moving forward to about a little over a year later he had a freak accident and ended up breaking his right hand. This too has not healed and his bones in his hand are out of line.
On top of these injuries this started to take a major effect on our finances. I am a private duty nurse so I could work as needed. I homeschool our daughter by personal choice because we felt that this is what is best for our daughter. My husband took on the full responsibility to work full time to provide for his family. And even though he was still working, the challenges of his injuries made it difficult. His foot healed up enough so he can go work and his hand just enough to be simi functional.
More challenges to come ~ After dealing with these injuries this is where the major challenges begin.
My husband one day decided to take his motorcycle out because it was a very beautiful day that day. While he was out he felt something hit his arm as if someone had came up and struck him with a needle, he then rushed back to the house and was frantic because his arm had gone numb. From there is where the major issues had come in. Fast forward some time and while he was at work he felt as if he was going to drop. ( Die on the job)
I then proceeded to find someone to look at his blood so we can figure out what was going on. We were able to find a specialist that was truly a God send. When we went to see this specialist, they were able to tell us exactly what was going on. His blood was severely coagulated, and his blood was ghosting. For Months and nearly three years he has been losing his hair, major tooth decay, malabsorption, brain fog, and severe depression. Because of this he has not been able to work for over a year because of the life-threatening condition. It has been very challenging to keep up with daily needs. I am only able to work if I can make arrangements to barrow transportation from a friend or family member. We had a vehicle but in the midst of this it had died leading us to be dependent on others.
This where we need your help and support~ Every dollar donated will help my husband get the proper treatment needed to help us get back on our feet again. From surgery on his hand and foot to helping restore his blood with the proper supplements, and dental for the teeth that has decayed due to malabsorption.
As a wife it is a nightmare having to worry about my husband and if he is going to wake up the next day.
I love the man that God had sent to my daughter and I to complete our family. We want nothing more than to be happy and healthy so we can go and enjoy things as a family, and most importantly our hearts is to be able to bless others the way you have blessed us.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and if God puts it on your hearts to give or to just simply pray it is very much appreciated!
Kind Regards,
The Riggs family
