  • Getting There!

    We have big news and big THANKS to share!

    On August 4th Gary was put on a ventilator. He is adjusting to it really well and it has helped improve a number of day-to-day things, especially his sleep patterns. He spent 2 weeks in ICU but is home now.

    One of the reasons we started this fundraiser was to be able to get him to a specialist in St Louis. We’re excited to say that a cancellation opened up and we’ll be taking him there for an appointment on September 8th!

    We could not have done this without you! ❤️ Your generosity has provided: doctors, food, medication, and equipment that insurance and Medicare didn’t touch. You’re making a huge impact on our whole family and we can’t thank you enough!

    We’ll give you all another update after the St Louis trip!

    We continue to covet your prayers and continued support. God is working in a big way and we are so grateful for all of you who are a part of that! Please continue to pray for Gary and our family as we take the next steps in his medical journey.

    Micah 7:7
    But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.

    Psalm 34:4
    I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

About this fundraiser

Many of you have known Gary for years and some of you are just now joining us. In the last few years we’ve watched him go from a strong vital man, too young for his years, to a man devastated by ALS.   

We are raising funds to cover medical and travel expenses. Most doctors see that he has been diagnosed with ALS and they write him off. However we have found a couple of doctors that are willing to help but we need to get to them and pay them. These doctors are not covered by Medicare or insurance. He is on a small fixed income and isn’t able to afford the medical treatments no matter how necessary or possibly life saving those treatments are.   


In Mark 2:1-12 the friends of a paralytic tore open a roof to get their friend to Jesus. Please help us tear the roof off our financial needs and help us get dad to the medical help we’ve been praying for!
