Funeral Expenses for Jeremey

In mid April Jeremey was rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital with acute liver failure.

Since then he has also battled with kidney failure which has made kidney dialysis a part of his treatment, pneumonia, and a heart arrhythmia which required him to have his heart shocked.

Jeremey has been enduring all of this, while battling chronic back issues from a previous injury, and has not been able to take any medication for the pain because it would further compromise his condition. Jeremey celebrated his 38th birthday in the hospital.
 
Unfortunately despite all of the efforts made, Jeremey is losing his battle with kidney and liver failure. The doctors are giving him less than a week or two before he joins God's heavenly kingdom and is reunited with his grandfather. 

We are setting up in home hospice this week to make him comfortable, and allowing him to spend his final time surrounded by family and his beloved dog Bella. 

As we grapple with the devastating news that Jeremey won't be with us for very much longer, we are forced to turn our attention to figuring out how we are going to come up with the funds to cover the cost of the service and final arrangements. This is something as a parent, you never want to face, nor can be prepared for. 

Based on research, the average cost of a funeral is $5,000. This is a huge financial burden for us to carry along with grieve of losing our son. 

We hope that you would consider donating, if you are able to. Any donation is a blessing during this difficult time.

Please hug your family and friends because you never know when God will call them home. 

With love,

Michele and Larry Schlipp Update: Jeremey went home to heaven today at around 315 this afternoon surrounded by family and his beloved dog Bella.
