Hello friends, family, and kind strangers, It is with a heavy heart that I reach out to you today. My son, Jai, has been through an unimaginable ordeal, and our family is struggling to keep our heads above water. In May, Jai was hit by a car. The physical injuries weren’t too serious, but the accident also began a difficult mental decline that has been heartbreaking to witness. I was desperately trying to get him some treatment to help with recovery from that first trauma when, last week, the unthinkable happened: Jai was hit again, this time by an 18-wheeler. We are so grateful that he is alive, but he has a long and difficult journey ahead. He will need to remain in the hospital for at least the next several days, and his path to full recovery is uncertain. While our entire focus is on Jai’s healing, the reality of our situation is overwhelming. I am missing work to be by his side, and the loss of income, on top of all this, has left us in a precarious position. We are facing the stress of everyday expenses like food, childcare, and our regular household bills, all while trying to support Jai. I never imagined I would have to ask for help like this, but right now, I feel like I'm drowning. Any contribution you can make, no matter how small, would be an incredible blessing. Your support will go directly towards keeping our family afloat—covering necessities like food and childcare, and helping with bills so we can focus all our energy on Jai’s recovery. If you are unable to contribute financially, we would be so grateful if you could share this page with your network. And please, keep Jai in your thoughts and prayers. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, support, and generosity during this incredibly difficult time. With sincere gratitude,
