Peterson Family Medical Relief Fund

We are raising funds for the Peterson family to help cover the loss of income and medical expenses resulting from Phil Peterson’s recent diagnosis. The Peterson family has always been one of the first to offer help to others. It is now our time to offer that same sense of community to them. 

A couple of weeks ago Phil was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.  He was hospitalized for 10 days and was released home with foot braces and a walker.  Due to his preexisting health conditions his immune system has been hit hard and is extremely weak.  His physician wants him to do another round of Rituxan Chemo to get his immune system back on track.  Due to it being flu/cold season and covid his physician will not release him back to work until he has received the chemo and has more strength in both legs.  He will be applying for short-term disability, however he will need to go 30 days without pay before he is eligible. It is expected that Phil will be out of work for 6-12 months. 

As a result, the Peterson’s are experiencing a significant change in income. The funds raised will be used to offset this loss of income so they may continue to meet the needs of their family. Additionally, the costs incurred by hospitalizations, treatments, and the needed physical therapy will be significant. Funds raised will also be used to help the Peterson’s cover these costs. 

On behalf of Phil, Inge, Theda and Hank thank you for your support.
