Mike and Terri celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in January, marking two decades of love, laughter, and adventure together. They had built a life filled with hope and promise, working together towards their dreams of a small home and a large garden. But life had other plans. At 50, only 7 years into their marriage, Mike's health began to decline, and he faced a series of challenges: a mini stroke, heart issues, a poisonous spider bite, kidney failure, dialysis, a kidney transplant, a partial foot amputation, and vision problems. As his health struggles intensified, Mike was no longer able to work, and Terri selflessly stepped in as his full-time caregiver, dedicating herself to his care and support. When Covid struck, they were both hospitalized, and Terri's recovery was nothing short of miraculous. After 12 days on a ventilator, she awoke to find her right leg and hip numb due to pinched nerves. She underwent rehabilitation in two different hospitals, learning to walk and balance again. Today, she continues to cope with Covid's lingering effects on her memory and speech. In March 2024, Terri was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer, requiring surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment until November. Despite this new challenge, Terri remains steadfast in her faith and commitment to caring for Mike. Through it all, Mike and Terri have remained faithful, trusting in their Heavenly Father to supply their needs. Their small home now requires adaptations to accommodate their new reality. Doorways must be widened, and their bathroom updated to ensure accessibility and the ability to age in place. LOA Building Alliance is committed to helping Mike and Terri create a safe and accessible space in their home. We aim to raise funds to cover the construction costs for this project. Any contribution, big or small, will bring us closer to achieving our goal and improving Mike and Terri's quality of life. Let's come together to support this remarkable couple and help them thrive in their home.
