Help Support Young Iowa Family Fight Parkinson's

Help Support Young Iowa Family Fight Parkinson's

Our family is facing an incredibly difficult journey. Jeremy, a devoted father, husband, and 25-year professional in the Iowa Insurance Technology sector is going on permanent disability due to the severe physical and cognitive effects of Parkinson’s Disease.

As the primary breadwinner, this shift from a two-income household to a smaller, single income is a tremendous hardship, especially after three years of hospital visits, doctor appointments, and countless tests that have left us with significant medical debt.

Unfortunately, Parkinson’s brings not only health struggles but also new and growing financial burdens—home modifications for mobility, medical bills, legal fees, home care, and essential family assistance. Those needs will only continue to grow. With rising costs and mounting debt, our young family is facing an overwhelming and unsustainable situation.

This is a hard message to write. We have always been givers, supporting meaningful causes and those in need. Admitting we need help is truly humbling, but at this critical time, we must reach out for support. It’s the reality of our situation.

Who We Are:

• Jeremy (42) – A dedicated father, loving husband of 20 years, and a longtime Insurance Technology professional. He also founded CycloneFanatic.com in 2004, a thriving community for Iowa State fans with a sole purpose of giving all Cyclones a place to call home.

• Rhonda (43) – The heart and soul of our family, an incredible mom, and a dedicated professional who is now carrying the full weight of caregiving, household responsibilities, and being our sole provider. She makes us “The Linds”.

• Isaac (14) & Eli (9) – Brilliant, compassionate boys who care deeply for others and have limitless potential. Future Fanatics in the making.

• Mochi (5) – Our lovable Cockapoo, emotional support companion, and treat-hungry troublemaker.

We are also blessed with an incredible emotional support system - Jeremy’s parents, Val and Linda, and his sister, Angie, and her family.
