When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." To this day, especially in times of "disaster," I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world. – Fred Rogers

Hi, my name is Amanda Freese, and I am a friend of Jeff and Jenna Netz. I had the privilege of teaching Jenna in high school and have become friends in adulthood. This GoFundMe has been established to help them with medical expenses that have built up quickly this past year. Due to some health complications, hospital stays and ambulance rides have been a necessity. No one likes to ask for help, and Jeff and Jenna are no different. However, even with health insurance, we're all about one health crisis away from needing help from our friends and family to cover the bills.

Anything you can offer will help offset the burden Jeff and Jenna are facing with current medical bills. Relieving that stress will allow them to focus on more important things that will improve healing outcomes.

Thanks for considering this opportunity to be a helper. I know Mr. Rogers would approve.
