Rally For Rob

Our dear Schmitt family needs our help! Rob Schmitt is currently hospitalized at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis. He was just transferred from Champaign after a ruptured femoral artery aneurysm. This comes after he underwent vascular surgery in August. He’s had several surgeries, was just taken off the ventilator and has a very long road to recovery. Rob will need several procedures to repair a large incision and will likely be away from his hometown of Bartonville for many months. Rob's siblings—Lori, Mike, and Julie—have been by his side, though they are away from home. The costs of travel, lodging, and unforeseen expenses are mounting.

I am a cousin to the Schmitt family and have witnessed firsthand the love, support and dedication this amazing family has for one another. My wish is that they can continue to be by Rob’s side and not have financial worries so they can focus on his healing. All contributions will be sent directly to the family.

We are so grateful for any support—whether it’s a donation, sharing this page, or keeping Rob and his entire family in your thoughts and prayers.

In pure, honest form, this is what Rob thinks of having to go through this. But he is fighting!!
