Eric Stutzman's CLL Journey
Donation protected
My name is Kylee Stutzman (oldest daughter of Eric's). My family and I are born & raised, and currently live in Fort St John, BC. My dad is the reason I have made this campaign, as he has become very ill in such a short time. This illness was shocking, heartbreaking, and very unexpected. As most of you who know Eric he has hardly ever even gotten the common cold.
Eric is a husband, brother, son, and father of 3 children. Anyone who knows Eric knows that he is a very happy go lucky, active person. Eric loves playing with his son Ethan (5), and playing baseball with his team during the summer (Kalmar Krush), and hanging out at his house with his family. Eric has been the manager at the FSJ bottle depot for over 25 years and is very well known & loved.
Recently at the begining of November, Eric had a mini stroke at work and went to the hospital. Unfortunatly this made a turn for the worst, after many tests we found out Eric had CLL. CLL (Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia) which is cancer of the bone marrow. A week after this diagnostic, Eric had caught pneumonia and influenza. After two days he was medivaced out to Prince George where he was fully sedated and intubated. Eric has been in Prince George for a week now and he is still intubated. Eric is relying on the oxygen between 55-85% everyday. Eric has had three blood transfusions, and he is on lots of antibitoics. Eric has now been moved to Vancouver General hospital because of the better resources to help him recover. The reason my family and I have made this GoFundMe page is because his wife Jenna has taken time off work to be living down in Prince George taking care of Eric and being there for support. Eric is the main bread winner in the family and with both parents being away, their two oldest daughters Kylee & Tanisha have been the caretakers of their youngest son Ethan.
Both Jenna and Eric will be out of work for some time so any donations will be used to help Jenna stay on top of bills back home in Fort St John, and to help them not fall behind. They will be used to help the two oldest children provide and take care of their little brother. They will be used to help Jenna maintain the living costs (hotels, food, etc) in Vancouver. As well as help with any medical expenses.
We thank you in advance for any donations as it is very much appreciated.
