Hi there, my name is Karly Jepsen and I’m creating this fundraiser for my sister in law and her husband. First, I’d just like to start by thanking you for taking the time to read about the Hedlund family and also for your consideration in donating to them.

Adam and Annie developed COVID at the beginning of October 2021. He was hospitalized on October 10th at a local hospital where he stayed for about 9 days. At that point, he had developed pneumonia and his doctors felt it best that he be transferred to a hospital with an open ICU bed. To no fault of their own, that required a flight all the way to Minocqua. He was there for about 6 days when he was put on a ventilator and it was decided that he needed a higher level of care yet again. At that point, he was transferred via another flight to Milwaukee where he landed and began receiving ECMO. He started showing signs of improvement and was even able to get up out of his bed and into a chair which must have felt so good! As of today (October 27th), he is yet again intubated as his body is tired and needs the extra help still.

Adam is a loving son, brother, friend, farmer, husband and FATHER to two beautiful little girls. The last three weeks have been trying in many ways for this family of four and I know they will appreciate any amount of financial relief from this unimaginable situation.

Thank you so much!

**if you’d rather not donate via GoFundMe in order to avoid the 2.9% fee, Annie has created a Venmo account and will accept donations there as well. Her Venmo handle is @Annie-Hedlund-1
