Joel & Colette Manthei

As many of you may have heard, Joel suffered a massive heart attack and has been in the ICU at Swedish American for the past few days. This has been very hard for Colette and family to deal with as Joel plays such a huge role in everyone’s lives.

Like all cardiac events, this has caught everyone off guard and there no doubt will be additional, unexpected expenses for Colette moving forward. Anyone that knows her knows that Colette would never ask for help (and honestly she will most likely be mad we are even doing this) but with Joel fighting to stay with us she won’t be working which means her income will be very limited. The road ahead will no doubt be tough but we do not want her to worry about the little things while she is by Joel’s side. We are asking that if you are able to please consider giving to this cause to help ease the burden on Colette moving forward.

If you are fortunate to know or interact with Joel, you know what a guy he is and the impact he has on others—and you know how

he would absolutely hate that this was being made for him right now.

Right now we would appreciate all prayers and continued support you are able to give as we continue to hope and pray for a miracle

Thank you all for the overwhelming support already. We are forever grateful with the amazing people we have in our lives.

Sincerely,

Mallory, Andy & Family
