Help The Dille Family Through Medical Hardship
Donation protected
Bryan and Kristin Dille are parents of two children, aged 2 and 5, both with a rare genetic condition called cystic fibrosis. Between their full time employment and the complex care that comes with their kids' CF, these two are constantly moving.
On April 1, 2021, Kristin started having debilitating headaches. She brushed it off as a stress migraine, and continued her regular work and home routines, while attempting to get some relief through ice, heat, rest, over-the-counter meds, and any other remedy they could think of. By the following Saturday, it became apparent this was no ordinary migraine, so Kristin finally gave in and headed to the ER.
A CT scan revealed a tennis ball sized tumor on the right side of her temporal lobe. She was immediately transported to the James Cancer Center at Ohio State. Countless CT scans, MRIs, and blood draws later, they’re still sorting out exactly what the cause is before they can begin treatment planning.
She is currently on a constant morphine routine to keep her comfortable by managing the pain, which also means she’s mostly sleeping through the day. While the doctors, neurologists, and radiology specialists are making a plan, Bryan and Kristin’s families have been available to help with child care and keeping up the boys’ own medical routines at home.
These are two highly dedicated parents of kids with special medical needs, who selflessly raise funds and awareness for their kids and the entire cystic fibrosis community. They need some of that grace and generosity for themselves right now, to help them get through this incredibly trying time. The funds raised will go toward Kristin’s medical expenses, child care for the boys, general bills during this unexpected interruption to both their employment situations, and meals for the whole family during Kristin’s hospitalization/recovery.
