I can't believe I'm writing this story.

On July 27, 2026, I was on my way back to work when my life changed in an instant.

I was involved in a motorcycle accident and was thrown from my bike. An ambulance rushed me to the hospital, where I received treatment for my injuries. As difficult as this has been, I thank God every day because I know the accident could have been so much worse.

I suffered a concussion, a cartilage tear near my ribs that makes it difficult to breathe, extensive road rash on both of my arms, shoulders, hands, my right knee, and right ankle, along with an injury to my right foot. Every day has been a challenge, but I'm determined to recover and get back on my feet.

I work as the Lead Mechanic at Arnott Suspension Products, and I truly love my job and the people I work with. I'm incredibly grateful for how supportive and understanding the company has been since my accident. Their encouragement has meant more to me than they know during this difficult time.

The greatest blessing in my life is my 10-year-old daughter, Isabella. Although we have been apart for some time, I think about her every single day. My greatest hope is that, one day, we will reconnect and rebuild our relationship. I leave that in God's hands and continue to pray for the day we are together again.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm the first one to help someone else and the last one to ask for help. Today, however, I find myself needing the kindness and support of others.

The funds raised will help with medical expenses and everyday living expenses while I focus on healing and working toward getting my life back.

If you are able to donate, share my story, or keep me in your prayers, I would be sincerely grateful.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time.
