Caring for Beth Schenderlein

Donation protected
For 20 years, the Schenderleins opened their hearts and home to family and friends from around the world. Now, we have the opportunity to do the same for them.

On Dec. 23rd, 2020, we learned of the tragic loss of Dave and Sarah Schenderlein during a paddle-boarding accident on the Willamette River. The impact and grief are beyond words. Their community of family and friends extending from Eugene-Springfield, Oregon to Japan and beyond stand prayerfully and lovingly with Beth. For all who knew them, it’s our chance to step up and show the active engagement and heartfelt care they shared over the years.

These funds will help provide time and resources for the journey of mourning, rest, and healing. In early 2020, Beth’s position supporting international students at Lane Community College was cut due to the impact of Covid-19. All funds go exclusively to Beth for the following:

-Daily expenses for Beth over the coming months (food, necessities, insurance)
-Memorial and remembrance-related costs for Dave and Sarah
-Trip(s) for Beth to spend time with family and loved ones in the U.S. and Japan
-Hosting guests and visitors over the coming months
-Upkeep and maintenance of the home they moved into last summer

Most of all, your prayers are so greatly appreciated. Your gift will help in the process. Thank you for supporting Beth in this long journey. To help get the word out, please share this link on your social media.
