Help Kathy Bagemehl battle Lou Gehrig's (ALS)

Extend your compassion and support to Kathy as she confronts the formidable challenges of Lou Gehrig's disease and Scleroderma. Kathy, a compassionate Certified Nursing Assistant, received the devastating diagnosis of ALS in December 2022 and has been bravely battling Scleroderma since October 2013. Her life has been marked by 30 years of selfless service as a caregiver in Sheboygan, embodying both professional dedication and unwavering devotion as a mother to three sons and a loving wife.

 

The toll of these debilitating diseases has necessitated significant home modifications and accrued substantial medical expenses, estimating at $145,000. In this trying time, we turn to the community with a heartfelt plea for assistance in covering Kathy's medical costs and facilitating ongoing adjustments to make her home more accessible for essential care.

 

Presently, Kathy relies on the devoted care provided by her three children, D.J., Justin, and Lukas, who also tend to their disabled father Donald. They offer invaluable in-home support and manage all necessary medical assistance. As Kathy's children, our primary objective is to ensure she receives the compassionate care essential for her comfort throughout the relentless battle against these diseases. Blessed with the love and devotion of our mother throughout the years, we now seek your support to ensure we can extend both financial aid and caregiving support to her.

 

Your generous assistance holds the power to profoundly impact Kathy's journey, allowing her to confront these challenges with the solace and backing she undeniably deserves. Join us in rallying behind Kathy as she courageously combats ALS and Scleroderma, ensuring that the remaining days of her journey are characterized by an abundance of love, care, and dignity.

Please stay tuned as we will hold informational sessions educating our community about ALS and provide fundraising opportunities.
