I was pulled from work 9-27 until 10-2 due to injuring my hip flexor muscle. My next check is going to be very small.
For those wondering, the total we are asking for will be used as such:
We also have an amazon wish-list if you're willing to help with that. I will be updating it as time goes on so the list may change.

Yes, this is happening in real time, and I’ll be updating it as it goes on.
We understand the goal total seems like a lot. We hate having to ask for so much, but we haven’t had a chance to breathe for longer than a few days at a time. Catching up is becoming virtually impossible unless we ask for help somewhere. We appreciate anything anyone is willing to donate and will most definitely make sure to pay it forward in the future as we get more settled into life.
Choosing to do an online fundraiser was our absolute last resort. We are very private people and don’t like how cruel the world can be when sharing your darkest moments. So, please, if you’re not here to offer help, move on.
