Sadly, Bonnie passed away at 3AM on Thursday Feb 12, So now we have those expenses to deal with… Our thoughts are with Joe at this time. Every donation helps, be it $5 or $500, and thanks to all who have stepped up so far!

OK Vanners…it’s time to band together and help one of our own! Joe and Bonnie have put their heart and soul into creating and maintaining the Museum of Vanning. For the last year, Bonnie has been in and out of the hospital and rehab with a long list of issues-open heart surgery, kidney failure, miscellaneous bacterial infections. Since Christmas, things have deteriorated to a critical level. Her insurance has declined coverage, demanding over 3000 in cash to keep her in rehab. Joe scraped that together, but they ultimately sent her home, where there was not enough adequate care. She has continued her 3 times weekly dialysis, but the costs and logistics are becoming unmanageable. This is where we come in. Joe will never admit it, but he needs our help! Costs are mounting, and funds are limited. On top of the expenses already incurred there will be end of life expenses to be covered. Whatever your feelings are toward Joe or the museum, I am asking you to find it in your hearts to help this dedicated vanner out!
