Cassie's Courageous Fight

Cassie Kehl and her husband Mike are the most humble, kind, and generous people that I am lucky to know. They are hardworking and think of everyone else ahead of themselves. Countless people, including myself, have been a benefactor of their kindness and generosity. They have never asked for anything they could not do themselves. They have always been there to lean on in good times and in bad.

On Friday, January 29th, Cassie went to the University of Iowa hospitals for evaluation. She had a bulge near her eye that continued to grow but she always kept thinking it was stress related.

However, Cassie received a diagnosis that was very scary and unexpected. The doctors confirmed a 6 cm tumor growing inside her brain, just above her eye.

Surgery is required to remove the tumor and then radiation will follow to minimize the tumor as much as possible. If surgery is not performed the tumor will continue to grow and all brain function will eventually cease.

Talking to her now she is still worried about everyone else. It’s now time that we take care of her.

Cassie and Mike are going to be left with huge out of pocket expenses to cover post-surgery costs.

I truly believe that all the good that Cassie and Mike have done for others will come back to them now. It’s their turn to rely on the kindness of others to help them through this very rough time.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you are in a position to help, your contribution will mean so much to them.
