Fundraiser for Officer Stadler

8/23/2023 IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to a persistent infection, Officer Stadler must undergo an additional invasive surgery. This will require time away from work for both Adam and his bride, Cristie, as he recovers. So many of you have been gracious with your prayers and financial support. As they enter what is prayerfully a successful and complete course of action, the Stadlers are again in need of your prayers and, if you see fit, your financial support. Please consider the sharing of your blessings.

Adam Stadler is a husband, father, and faithful public servant. Because of an unexpected medical condition, he and his family can use your support and prayers.

Adam is a 6-year member of the Opelika Police Department. Having served as a Patrol Officer and School Resource Officer, he now serves the public faithfully in his role on the Crisis Intervention Team and Traffic Homicide Investigations Team. Adam is also a tactical medical instructor who trains the public, industry, and his department in First Aid CPR and AED skills. Adam is married to Cristie, his bride of nearly 20 years, and they have two children.

Adam's health took an unexpected turn recently when, after days of migraines and nausea, he was evaluated at a local ER. The results of his CT revealed a mass is putting pressure on his brain. Adam was transferred to a Level II facility where, after further evaluation, he was diagnosed with a meningioma, a slow-growing tumor that originates from the sheath that covers the brain. Neurosurgeons explained that the tumor needs to be removed surgically. It was also noted that Adam may lose his sense of smell as a result of the invasive surgery. An oncologist has also been assigned to his case as meningiomas have been known to be cancerous.

We know that Adam's recovery will be significant. He will have days of lost work, and pending the results of the oncology assessment, there is a chance he may have to begin cancer therapy. It is difficult for public servants to ask for help, however, the Stadler family has, without a doubt, sacrificed for the public and is more than deserving of assistance through this challenging time in the life of their family.

Your financial support, prayers, and words of encouragement will prove to be invaluable to Adam and his family. Thank you in advance.
