My name is Sara Fish. I am asking for your help to support my dear friend Kris Bottenberg as she fights through what has been one of the worst years of her life. Kris lost her husband, David Bottenberg, very suddenly and unexpectedly the morning of Tues Aug 3rd. He collapsed when getting out of bed on Monday and was rushed to the hospital in cardiac arrest, septic, and organ failure. They were supposed to renew their vows this month on the 16th - their tenth-year wedding anniversary. David and Kris met years before they started dating and built an unbreakable friendship. From there, their love grew with a bit of chaos, fun, and adventure. Dave was the love of her life and would do anything for her and Kendall, Kris' youngest daughter Dave took in as his own. Dave has been Kris' rock, now more than ever, after she lost her daughter in an equally tragic situation just 4 months ago when Kenzie lost her battle with Covid -19; she was 28. The gift of a donation cannot make the pain even bearable, it can only make facing the pain less stressful. Thank you for sending love, prayers, and funds. Your funds will be used to pay day to day expenses, (supplementing Kris' income until she is back to work) memorial services and costs, and unexpected costs for the unseen future.
