After several months of tests, invasive procedures, multiple doctors opinions, our beautiful Deb, 57 years old, was diagnosed with ALS also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Deb is a loving mother, daughter, grandmother (or DeeDee as her twin granddaughters call her), sister, aunt, mother-in-law, cousin, and friend to so many! All that have met her along her journey can attest to her love for family and her unwavering strength. Although she has been able to conquer several hardships in life, this is one that will need an army.

For those who are not familiar with the disease, there are existing treatments to slow the progression to provide as much comfort as possible, but unfortunately there is no cure. While we are in search of how to best help Deb transition through this next season, we do know that it will be a difficult one emotionally, physically and financially. We’ve been told the average annual cost of care for ALS is $145,000.

We are asking family, friends, colleagues and even generous strangers to graciously help provide additional support for Deb and her family as we continue into this next phase of life.

We appreciate any sized donation that is comfortable for you. If a donation is too much, a prayer request is just as much appreciated. We know God is bigger than ALS!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for anyone who takes a moment to contribute, share, or even send prayers!
