Help Rudy Begin His Next Chapter

Anyone who knows Rudy knows he’s one of a kind — genuine, generous, and always the first to lend a hand. Rudy has touched so many lives with his kindness, humor, and heart.

On October 16th, Rudy was involved in a devastating ATV accident that left him with permanent injuries. He has a sternal fracture, multiple fractures of his ribs, multiple neck and upper back fractures, and a spinal cord injury. His life has changed tremendously, and moving forward, Rudy will be physically impaired for the rest of his glory days.

But if you know Rudy, you know that his strength and spirit are unbreakable. He’s never been one to ask for help — always the one giving everything he has to others. Now it’s our turn to give back.

We’re asking for your support to help Rudy begin this next chapter in every way possible — to live fully, comfortably, and in true Rudy style.

All donations will go directly toward converting his home to be wheelchair accessible, covering hospital and rehabilitation bills, and supporting him and Pam as he recovers and they adjust to their new way of life.

Please help us give back to Rudy — the man who has given so much to everyone else. ❤️

Who am I? Rudy’s niece, Nicole Siemers. Rudy is the uncle who was hanging at our house because he wanted to. Showing up to sporting events for my brother and I, helping our teams tee-pee our house because they didn’t do a good enough job (according to him). He is the uncle who taught me how to handle a figure 8 tubing, ski, and barefoot (sort of…I’m still mad he made me drag and laughed the whole time). He is the great uncle who adores my children wholeheartedly. He is the uncle who every kid dreams of, and I am the lucky one to have him, alongside many nieces and nephews across families.

If you want to contribute to immediate costs and needs already accruing, please DM Nicole Siemers for Venmo and additional information.

During this trying time, the families of Rudy and Pam kindly ask that we hold space and respect privacy. They are both loved and known by many. This is a long road ahead and there will be endless opportunities for support. Any messages sent to them have been received, even if a reply has not been provided.

Your love, support, and well thoughts are greatly appreciated!
