Taking care of the Zepnaks

An Update as of 12/29/23 - We are so sad to share that Art Zepnak passed away on December 28th. Jordan and Sidney have made funeral arrangements for January 2nd, 2024. I’m sharing this fundraiser again to give folks the opportunity to financially support the Zepnak girls with all of the costs that come with a funeral and tying up the lose ends of a well-lived life. Thank you, so much, for all the support so far. We are forever grateful.

Hi, my name is Kate Holloway, and I've been a friend of Jordan Zepnak and her sister Sidney Trilk for many years.

As many of you know from Jordan's post recently, their dad, Art Zepnak, has had an incredibly difficult year in regards to his health. In February this year, he suffered a major heart attack, but survived and everyone thought that would be the end of a very difficult chapter and health scare. Little did we all know, he would then suffer a major, life-altering stroke in July. Art's health has suffered immensely. He unfortunately is now in a position of needing full-time care with a lot of unknowns in the future. He has limited mobility, difficulty with speech and movement, and understandably he is grieving in all of the change.

Unfortunately, on top of grief and stress for Art and his family, times like this often bring a lot of unexpected bills. Care supplies, medical bills, gas, and food all start to add up very quickly in crisis.

Jordan and Sidney have taken significant time off from their full-time jobs in order to help care for their dad. Jordan has taken a lot of time to travel back and forth from Omaha to Des Moines, and Sidney is also taking time off work to be with her dad in addition to her life as a wife and mom to two littles. Thankfully, Art currently has placement, but it's unknown how permanent this will be. It's just one of the many unknowns that lies ahead.

If you would, please consider donating to this fund in order to help Jordan and Sidney with the heavy burden that comes with caring for a sick parent. Thank you, truly, for what you can give. Jordan and Sidney have been so grateful for the support they already have. Your prayers and encouragement are so appreciated.
