Let's Support the Wohlgemuth Family

Donation protected
On the morning of October 14, 2024, Josiah Wohlgemuth (pictured in the middle between his dad Rodger and younger brother) was heading to work at his family's business when he was involved in an accident while driving a motorcycle.

Josiah suffered head trauma when impacting the ground, and sustained further injuries to his head when his helmet flew off during the accident and hit again without the protection of his helmet. He has not regained consciousness since the accident.

Josiah was airlifted to Kelowna General Hospital, but it was decided he needed to be airlifted to the ICU at Vancouver Childrens Hospital. His parents, Luetta and Rodger, are with him in Vancouver now, and his 3 younger siblings are being cared for by friends and family.

Rodger and Luetta Wohlgemuth are the owners of Triple Island Cheese, which originated in Cherryville and is now made in their facility in Armstrong. Their family have been vendors at the Vernon and Kelowna Farmers' Markets since they purchased the business a few years ago. As a local small business employing their teenage sons, they will now, understandably, need to cease operations while they tend to Josiah's injuries and recovery.

With the associated costs of staying away from home, travelling back and forth to be with their younger children and the stressors of Josiah's brain injury, we would like to help lessen the financial burden.

Please consider donating to this lovely family, in their time of need.

On behalf of the Wohlgemuth family, thank you for your generosity and kindness.


I will be posting updates as I receive them.
