Hi, my name is Beth Schreiber and I am raising money for the Severson family. I am blessed to work with Maria at Stevensville Schools and call her my dear friend. Her husband Tony contracted COVID-19 and was hospitalized on September 17th. There were no available beds or ambulances in Missoula, so an ambulance from Deer Lodge arrived and transported him to Butte. He has been battling ever since, away from his loved ones, amidst a few set backs, several medical interventions, and no clear release date. Tony is a wonderful family man; father to two grown boys, a daughter in law, and a new grandfather of a beautiful baby girl. Many know him as the Kwik Dry Carpet Cleaning guy, and he's the first one many call when they need a hand, an ear, or a good laugh. As a small business owner Tony has not been able to work through this illness or collect an income, the end is not yet in sight, and the day to day expenses are too much for Maria to handle on just her own public school salary. They will further need to meet their high deductible before insurance will kick in to cover any expenses. Many in the world have been deeply affected by this pandemic and feel helpless to do anything about it. If you fit in that category as I do, here's a brilliant opportunity to help. Any little bit could go a long way, and please forward along to as many others as you are willing. Blessings to you all and may you and yours stay safe and healthy in this difficult time.
