My name is Mandy Hoerath. I am starting a go fund me for my son Jeremy and his wife Lexi who recently had a baby.

Koen Myles Rugaard was born on 10/23/24, shortly after Koens arrival the doctors quickly noticed respiratory distress Koen was then taken directly to the Nicu where they attempted to give him respiratory support. On the 25th Koen was flown to a hospital in Denver to receive more support, he is currently on a ventilator and being monitored very closely, he is starting to make a recovery. Koen is still expected to spend a couple of weeks in the Nicu in Denver.

The money you donate will help pay for food and supplies while they are away from home. Travel expenses and bills too. Jeremy has worked so many overtime shifts to prepare for baby Koen and with them being in Denver they need all the support you can offer. Lexi is an amazing stay at home mom. Every penny helps!

I will send updates as they come in as well
