I’m the daughter of a 64-year-old single father. He has always been my role model, working hard to raise me alone. Unfortunately, over the past few years, his health has declined dramatically. He now suffers from heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and COPD. These conditions make it impossible for him to work, and the medical bills are overwhelming us.

Despite our best efforts—cutting expenses, applying for assistance, and seeking help—we still cannot keep up with the costs. Every month, the bills pile up higher, and I’m terrified about what the future might hold if we can’t get ahead of them.
