Fundraising for the Ternbergs

We are raising money to help support the Ternberg family as Heather is currently fighting for her life at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. See Heather's CaringBridge site below for the most up to date information.

In mid-October Heather was diagnosed with COVID. She has been working on the front lines of COVID since it began as an ER nurse at Region's Hospital. She has recently spent many days hospitalized but was intubated (breathing tube), proned (put on her stomach) this past week. Despite this, she was flown to Mayo Clinic in Rochester 10/23 to be placed on ECMO (blood is pumped outside of your body to a heart-lung machine) to help her recover.

Initially, we would like to raise money to give her daughter, Mikayla, birthday presents on November 14th. Considering she could likely be in the ICU through Christmas, we would like to consider giving gifts to both kids, Levi and Mikayla.

Unfortunately her husband Sam is also hospitalized with COVID. All other funds would be to given to the family to support any financial burdens.

Thanks for all contributions and please continue to follow her CaringBridge.

*Disclaimers 

1. This fundraiser is started by myself, AJ Colby, a co worker of Heather, and several other of her Regions Hospital co workers. 

2. The initial goal of this fund raiser was to gain some money to buy gifts for her children, as seen above. We are overwhelmed with the great response and hope to be able to give the vast majority of it to her husband to help cover some expenses. 
3. Money will be withdrawn by myself, AJ, to purchase gifts for the children. Money given to her husband will be given from me via cashiers check. 

Please direct any questions towards me! Thank you so much for your contributions.
