Hi,

Who would be the hardest person in your life to lose right now? Would be a parent? A spouse? A child? Who? Please consider that while reading this quick note.

For my friend and colleague Nathan, that answer for him and his family would be his wife, mother to their family of 5 young children, Randi.

Failing health doesn't always equal a sudden job and health coverage loss.. But this time it did.

Everything was great in life... Until suddenly, it wasn't. Randi, without any prior problematic medical history, approximately six weeks ago, on October 26th, Randi had the first of many seizures. She was taken to the hospital for scans and tests without a resolution yet. Doctors and neurologists are still working to narrow down whether it's a growth, tumor, blood vessel issues etc. but cannot identify how terminal this may be yet.

Furthermore, by doctors' orders, Randi has had her driving privileges taken away until further notice. Her employer, while initially accommodating, needed to keep that role filled and terminated her employment after six weeks; they picked up her belongings this weekend.

The loss of her income (approximately 40% of the family earnings and having their healthcare for '22 through) puts this family in a bind.

Here is where your donations will specifically help out the family.

You would never know these guys are going through hard times if I didn't put this together. Why? Because they won't ask for help. They are the go-to family when others' within their circles need support. They are hard-working, contributing members of society that typically the ones to lend you a hand without asking for anything in return despite their needs. That's why I'm both writing and contributing to this. Any further questions, please let me know.

My family, pray's to God that in his grace, he allows the Bentz family to weather this storm financially but even more-so spiritually and that in his mercy, show's them his love and inspires those reading this to aid. Amen.
