On Thursday, June 10th, my aunt Sandra Fernen was taken by ambulance to the Aberdeen hospital. Many medical concerns were found so on Friday, June 11th she was airlifted to Sanford in Sioux Falls. She was put on a ventilator and is fighting for her life right now with pneumonia, liver and kidney failure and other medical issues. On Friday night, her husband, her son and her daughter & family drove down to Sioux Falls to be with her. On Saturday, June 12th in the early morning hours, a very tragic event occurred while at the hotel, my cousin Brandon was found unconscious on the floor. The ambulance was called and paramedics came to try to revive him, but sadly Brandon passed away. He was able to see his mother Friday night before this tragedy happened. 

We are asking for any donations to help the family with medical bills, travel costs, lodging, funeral costs, missing work, etc. Please consider donating, this family is going through so much. Our family does not usually ask for help, but this is very unexpected. We appreciate anyone’s thoughts, prayers or any monetary help you can give. Thank you.
