Bill Wenning— “Mr. Wenning” or “Coach” to so many—has always been there for others.

As a teacher, coach, friend, and mentor, he has given his time, energy, and heart without ever asking for anything in return.

Now, Bill needs us.

For nearly a decade, Bill has been battling dementia (specifically a condition called Frontal Lobe Aphasia), and recently his condition has progressed much more quickly than anyone expected. After two weeks in the hospital in the emergency care, it has become clear that he now requires constant 1:1 care for basic functions.

We are currently working to transition Bill into a nursing home, but that process takes time. In the meantime, we are arranging in-home care to keep him safe, comfortable, and supported. The cost of this care is significant, and Bill and Marcy do not have the financial resources to manage it alone.

Our goal is simple: to make sure Bill is safe, comfortable, and well cared for during this transition. If Bill has made a difference in your life in any way, we humbly ask you to consider making a donation. Any amount, no matter how small, will help and will go directly toward his care and basic daily needs.

Bill has always shown up for others. Now it is our turn to show up for him. Truthfully, he would probably be mortified that we are doing this—but we also know just how many lives he has touched over the years.

Our family is deeply grateful for your kindness, support, and prayers during this difficult time.
