It may sound like a cliché or a platitude, but this woman has been the love of my life for more than 27 years—my reason behind so many of my reasons. Yolanda makes me a better man. She has always been my conscience when ambition, anger, pride, or circumstance threatened to drown out that quieter voice asking: “Just because you can, does that mean you should?” When ExponentialThink.com began consulting in areas involving military technology and AI-guided autonomous systems—technology whose eventual migration beyond the battlefield is impossible to ignore—Yolanda was that voice of reason. She reminded me that behind every algorithm, every contract, every technological breakthrough, and every strategic decision are human beings who ultimately have to live with the consequences. That is who she is. For more than 27 years, Yolanda has never abandoned me. Through victories and failures. Through prosperity and hardship. Through good years and terrible ones. She stayed. We have been virtually inseparable for nearly three decades. And now, during the greatest fight of her life, I have absolutely zero intention of abandoning her. They can drain the bank accounts. They can bury me in legal bills. They can try to bankrupt me through lawfare. They can take possessions, opportunities, and virtually every material thing I have spent a lifetime building. But they cannot make me stop fighting for my wife. As long as there is another doctor to call, another treatment to investigate, another bill that must be paid, another night when she needs me sitting beside her, another morning when she opens her eyes and reaches for my hand—I will be there. Every. Single. Time. I made a promise to this woman a lifetime ago: For better or worse. For richer or poorer. In sickness and in health. Those weren’t ceremonial words to me. They were a contract with God. And I intend to honor every damn word of it. But today, I need your help honoring that promise. This is no longer an abstract financial strain. It is a daily calculation. It is the cost of doctors and medications. It is medical equipment and supplies. It is transportation to appointments and treatment. It is home care and the help required to keep Yolanda safe, comfortable, and surrounded by the people who love her. It is insurance deductibles, copays, and expenses that simply are not covered. Ordinary household bills don't stop arriving just because your family is in crisis. And it is the income and work I sacrifice every time the choice is between earning money and being where I belong—beside my wife. Right now, we need approximately $30,000 to $40,000 each month just to keep pace with Yolanda’s care and the expenses surrounding it. A $25 contribution can help cover medications or supplies. $50 can help with critical care transportation or an appointment-related expense. $100 can help offset a day of RN care. $300 can pay for a single high-dose vitamin C infusion that is a life-changer. $500 can make a meaningful dent in one of the larger medical or household bills. And if someone is in a position to give more, it can buy something that has become extraordinarily precious to us: Time. Time without wondering which bill gets paid first. Time for me to concentrate on Yolanda instead of trying to solve a financial emergency every morning. Time to keep fighting. I have emptied what I can empty, sold what I can sell, and absorbed what I can absorb. I am not asking you to save us. I am asking you to help me keep her cared for while I fight to save every day we can have together. If you can help Yolanda today, please donate here: givesendgo.com/yolandas If you cannot donate, please repost this. A $10 donation matters. A repost matters. A prayer matters. And putting this in front of one person who has the means to make a larger contribution could change everything for us. I don’t enjoy asking for help. But I love this woman far more than I value my pride. So I am asking. Please help me keep fighting for Yolanda. With God, our family, our friends, and all of you beside us, we are still here. Still fighting. Still believing. And I will fight for Yolanda until I have absolutely nothing left to give. Then I will somehow find a little more. Because that is what you do for the love of your life. Tony
