I was asked on behalf of Brandie's closest friends (Megan, Michelle, and Jennifer) to set up this fundraiser to help support the Kermundu family.

The family recently took a trip to Africa. Upon returning, Brandie became very ill. Jude took her to the hospital and after many tests, they determined she has a very severe form of malaria. She needs lots and lots of prayers. She is at the NCH downtown and Jude is there with her. Please do not try and contact her at this time. She is unconscious and her organs have started shutting down. The medicine she needs just arrived at the hospital. Please pray it works and her body is able to recover. This will be a long road with a mound of medical bills. This family is involved in our community - Jude is a local soccer coach, and the kids - Malachi, Finley, and Everly attend Mason Classical Academy. They need this community to show up and give back to them during this difficult time. Please consider making a donation of any amount to help ease this burden. I know this will help take some weight off Jude as he seeks to care for Brandie and focus on this family in the days ahead. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
