Dale, a Vietnam veteran and truck driver for almost 40 years, recently experienced a sudden and serious decline in health. After being hospitalized, he has now entered hospice care, and his family is doing their best to support him through this difficult time. The VA will help with some of the expenses, but Kelli, his wife, will be left with many financial responsibilities, including medical debt, a mortgage, credit cards, a car payment, and a trailer. The house also needs repairs, adding to the stress and uncertainty of the future.

Kelli is a private person who has already endured the loss of both her parents in recent years. She has devoted herself to caring for Dale, often at the expense of her own well-being. As she prepares to transition to a single income, the financial strain is overwhelming. The family has been grateful for the outpouring of support from friends, family, and the veteran community, including a special ride-by from the CVMA biker group and heartfelt stories shared online.

Any support—whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser—will make a meaningful difference for Kelli as she navigates this challenging time. Dale is surrounded by his wife Kelli, his sons Joel and Nick, daughter-in-law Micayla, and granddaughter Ashlynn. The family is deeply appreciative of any kindness and generosity shown as they support Dale and help Kelli find stability and peace.
