Support Dennis Buschbaum's Fight Against ALS

Hello everyone,

My name is Mia, and I'm reaching out to you today with a heavy heart. My dad, Dennis Buschbaum, has recently been diagnosed with ALS(Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. A terminal disease. This devastating diagnosis has turned our world upside down.

My daddy has been my best friend my whole life and has given me and my siblings the best life possible. ALS threatens to take away his independence, his ability to move, and his freedom to do the things he loves. We love him very much and want the best possible for him through this hard time.

Dennis has been a wonderful husband to Angelle for over 35 years. They are soul mates and were supposed to grow old together. My goal is to help them make the most of the time they have and not let money stop that. I don't want my dad to literally work until he can't move any longer. I would like him to be able to take time now to do the things he had planned for him and my mom’s future. Travel, eat out, buy a new suite, or not have to sell all his prized posestions. It's heartbreaking watching him sell the things he worked so hard to get.

My dad and mom have been the best parents to me, my sister Brianne and my brother Dennis, his wife Emily and their children, Dads wonderful grandchildren Jenna and Ryan.

Our dad has spent his life happily supporting and taking care of all of us and now we want to be able to repay his efforts and give him the best possible last years. It breaks our hearts to see him struggle with everyday tasks that we all take for granted. Simple things like walking, talking, and even eating have become increasingly difficult for him. But despite the physical toll ALS has taken on him, his spirit remains unbroken. He continues to fight with courage and determination every single day. He hasn't changed a thing(except maybe some honey do's). He gets up everyday, gets dressed (maybe with a little secret help summetimes from mom) and goes off to work. He does enjoy his job but it gets harder and harder each day. I would say if you didn't know you couldn't tell, he hides it well.

ALS is a nervous system disease that causes loss of muscle control and function. This disease has no cure and is terminal in 2 to 5 years. There are some options to aid one who is going through it. Unfortunately it comes at an extremely high cost so any donation no matter how much will be greatly appreciated!

That's why I'm reaching out to all of you. We need your help to give my dad the fighting chance he deserves. The cost of ALS treatment and care is overwhelming, and it's taking a toll on our family both emotionally and financially. From medical bills to specialized equipment to home modifications, the expenses are mounting quickly and seem never ending.

Donations will help my dad have the best possible last months or hopefully years of his life. Some unplanned expenses that will be a hardship are;

-Medicine to aid in slowing the progression of the disease and relieve his pain.

-therapy to aid in slowing loss of muscle and function.

-Dr appointment through the process and more Dr appointments.

-multiple equipment needs to perform basic daily activities like chairs slings and house modifications.

-Equipment to help communicate when he cant speak any longer.

-Also a big loss of income due to a shortend career. Also my mom's income when she has to stop working to be his full time care giver.

Please, join me and my family in rallying behind my dad as he faces this unimaginable challenge. Your generosity and kindness will not only provide financial assistance but also serve as a source of strength and hope for our family during this difficult time.if you would like to donate or help outside here let me or my dad know.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering our cause and for standing with us in the fight against ALS.

With love and gratitude,

The Buschbaum Family.
