Help the Ohlsons Recover After a Dumpster Fire of a Year

Donation protected
I’m writing on behalf of Christine and Robert Ohlson, who have faced a year no one should ever have to endure. After months of uncertainty and misdiagnosis, Christine was ultimately diagnosed with
cancer in January. She faced it the only way she knows how—with grit, humor, and
endless determination. After months of chemotherapy and radiation, she completed treatment in August.

Just as she began to regain her strength, life threw another devastating curveball. In October, Robert went in for what was supposed to be a routine vascular surgery. Complications during recovery led to a serious cardiac event the following night. Further testing revealed a complex condition with no clear treatment path yet. He was finally discharged on November 8, but only conditionally—he needs to rest and rebuild before doctors can move forward.

Now both Christine and Robert are recovering—one from cancer, the other from a heart crisis—and the medical bills just keep coming. Christine has only recently been able to return to work, while Robert is out indefinitely. They’ve faced it all with remarkable courage, but the financial strain is heavy.

If you know the Ohlsons, you know they’re the first to show up when someone else is in need—always with a joke, a meal, or a helping hand. Now it’s our turn to show up forthem.

Your donation—no matter the amount—will go directly toward:

  • Covering ongoing medical expenses for both Christine and Robert

  • Keeping up with essential household costs

  • Giving them the breathing room to focus on healing, not just survival

I am deeply grateful for any kindness you can offer. Your support helps more than you can imagine, and even sharing this page makes a tremendous difference.

Thank you for standing beside Christine and Robert as they work to rebuild after the toughest year of their lives. They’ve spent it fighting for their health and their
future—let’s help them find some peace as they move forward. ❤
