My name is Mary and I am an aunt to Ryan and Heidi Hock. Two years ago, our beautiful Heidi was told she had cancer. She fought through poking, prodding, surgeries, hospital visits, and chemo treatments. Today, she lost her battle. Heidi was a mom to 6 wonderful children from 17-23. She worked very hard in a Good Samaritan Nursing Home. During COVID, she was one of the heroes that took care of our loved ones when no one else could be there. She showed love and compassion when we weren't able to. She did this while maintaining a household with 6 children.

Ryan, her husband, was working full-time for a concrete company and part-time as a firefighter. He too has been in that hero role many times. He hasn't been able to work very much in the last year. He has been her caretaker.

This family needs our help. They have both given so much of their lives to help others and now Heidi has given the ultimate sacrifice, her life.

Final plans are being made by the family, but they need our help. It has been a struggle to make it day to day. Doctors, hospital, treatment, and trying to pay for everyday needs is tough without much of an income this last year. Please help us to help them. I know that life is tough for everyone. Even if you aren't able to donate, please pray for the family.

Please pass this on. I was reading through Ryan's Facebook and saw the motto for the firefighters. It said, "No One Fights Alone." Please don't let this family fight alone!! They need your help, no matter how small. Thank you and God bless.
