On Friday, March 6th, our grandma suffered a devastating stroke and was rushed to the ICU at the University of Minnesota Hospital. She has remained there since, and everything right now is being taken day by day. The doctors are doing everything they can to keep her comfortable while her body fights to heal. She is currently battling a large brain bleed along with significant swelling, and our family is leaning heavily on hope, faith, and the incredible medical team caring for her.

We are starting this GoFundMe on behalf of our grandpa, who has been by her side through this incredibly difficult time. With the hospital being in the Cities and home in Grand Rapids, the frequent travel back and forth, along with hotel stays, meals, gas, and other unexpected expenses, things are quickly adding up and becoming overwhelming.

If you are able to donate, our family would be incredibly grateful for any support to help ease the financial burden during this time so our grandpa can focus on being there for grandma.

If you’re unable to donate, we completely understand and simply ask that you keep our grandma in your thoughts and prayers as she continues to fight and heal. Thank you so much for your love, support, and kindness during this difficult time. It truly means the world to our family.
