Help support Mike’s road to recovery

Donation protected
My name is Shana and my dad is Mike Deffenbaugh. He suffered from a horrible stroke on 04/23/2025 and has a long road ahead of him. He has a lot of other health issues such as afib, hemochromatosis and a hiatal diaphramatical hernia, all which makes his recovery all the harder. We are looking at 6 months to a year in a rehab center. He is doing better but in the beginning we didn't know if he was ever going to recover. He is currently in the critical care unit, but we hope he will be moved soon. My dad is a fighter and I know he will pull through!

My dad takes care of my mom who has MS, he does everything from taking care of the bills to doctors appointments for her. We are hoping to raise funds to help with bills (both medical and otherwise) as they are both on disability and help ease both of their minds from worrying about money so they can focus on my dads road to recovery.

Any help is appreciated!
