On April 3rd, 2026, Jeremy suffered a cardiac arrest that resulted in him having a severe anoxic brain injury. We have been told the damage has affected his whole brain, and his prognosis is very poor.

Just one week before this happened, on 3-27-26, we were married after 28 years together. It was something Jeremy wanted for a long time, and I am so grateful we were able to give him that. He was so happy. On April 5th, Jeremy turned 52. Now I am trying to honor what he asked of me. Because of his declining health, we had the difficult conversations. Jeremy was very clear—he wanted everything possible done to keep him alive, but he did not want to pass in a hospital. He wants to be home, surrounded by the people and things he loves.

After upcoming procedures to place a tracheostomy and feeding tube, I will be trained—along with close family and friends—to care for him so we can bring him home on a ventilator. But we are not ready, and time is critical.

I became Jeremy's full-time caregiver last year, and with him hospitalized, I now have no income. I am traveling to Fargo daily to be with him, and the cost is quickly adding up. At home, we are facing urgent barriers: our flooring is unfinished down to the subfloor, making it unsafe to use a hoyer lift and essential medical equipment. We need to install proper flooring so I can safely move and care for him. My vehicle is no longer reliable (transmission is slipping and brakes need to be replaced), which puts my ability to get to Jeremy—and bring him home—at risk.

Jeremy is an incredible man. He's funny, laid-back, and genuinely kind. He loves his family deeply and his dog Teddy. Being home with them is everything to him. Right now, I am doing everything I can to make that happen.

We are asking for help to finish flooring so his medical equipment can be used safely, cover essential bills (rent, gas, electricity) while I am without income, pay for travel to and from the hospital, and repair my vehicle so I can continue to be there for him and safely bring him home.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to getting Jeremy home. If unable to give, please consider sharing this. Even a message of support means more than you know during this time. Thank you for helping me honor Jeremy's wish—to be home, surrounded by love.
