Hi, my name is Ben, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my wife, Stephanie, and our family. Our lives changed in an instant when Stephanie was diagnosed with a cluster of blood clots in her brain. Since then, everything has been uncertain. She now faces a long and difficult road ahead, including multiple procedures and ongoing care at UW Health in Madison. Because of her condition, Stephanie is unable to work, and our family of three is now relying on a single income that was already stretched thin. Along with the emotional toll of her diagnosis, we are facing growing financial challenges—medical bills, frequent travel to Madison for treatment, and possible modifications to our home to support her recovery. Even with medical coverage, the out-of-pocket costs are significant. On top of that, I will need to take time away from work to be by Stephanie’s side as she goes through treatment and recovery. The weight of everything combined has become overwhelming for our family. We are asking for help so we can focus on what matters most—Stephanie’s health, her recovery, and being together as a family during this incredibly difficult time. Any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing our story, means more to us than we can truly put into words. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, support, and prayers.
