As many of you know, Mike Ernst had emergency quadruple bypass surgery in June of 2024. Shortly after the procedure, Mike experienced a stroke that damaged his occipital nerve and caused him to lose his vision.

In the last month, Mike has experienced a series of strokes, about 4-5, that resulted in hospitalization. Doctors are still unclear on why these strokes have occurred.

The last two years have been difficult as Dana and family attempt to get answers. Dana, who is the sole provider, has stepped down from her role at TKCA to care full-time for Mike.

This money will go toward alleviating some of the financial burden medical bills and loss of income will accrue.
