Dan and Kim Dressel

We are inviting you to financially assist Dan and Kim Dressel recover from the devastating situation in which they find themselves.

Dan entered OSU hospital in the early morning hours of October 16th and after having discovered a hematoma in his spinal cord had emergency surgery in their Brain and Spine Hospital at 2 AM October 18th. He awoke the next day in a life altering situation. Dan is paralyzed from the chest down. He will need ongoing rehabilitation and Dan and Kim now face extreme financial challenges due to the increased expenses and the loss of Dan’s ability to work and provide income.

The most critical immediate needs are to renovate their home so that Dan can safely return and to purchase a handicap van for transportation. The cost of these two items is approximately $100,000. We are using Go Fund Me to help address these two needs.

We appreciate your support as we navigate the days and weeks ahead. We are grateful that Dan and Kim have such a large and supportive network of friends and family.

Sincerely,

Kathy Dressel Simonton, sister. Barb and Gary Giller, long time friends. Megan Powers Walker, HS classmate
