Support the Bard Family's Medical Journey
Donation protected
Imagine making big changes to your career. You are enrolled in school, traveling along the path, and are excited for the future. You start having trouble swallowing food, and they tell you that you need to get it fixed with surgery. You follow through with the surgery and look forward to recovery, a new semester, and ski trips with the love of your life… BUT… recovery never happens. There is a follow-up surgery, and more pain quickly followed up with another surgery, and now you depend on a PICC line to fuel your body because they had to remove your esophagus.
During this time, your sweet daughter is involved in a major car accident, and her ability to walk has been taken away. After many doctor appointments, they finally find the reason, and expensive treatments are needed to help her. You absolutely, without hesitation, get the treatments that she needs.
The family that I am describing to you is the Bard Family. Watching the many challenges that have happened to this wonderful family has been heartbreaking but also so inspiring in how strong they are and how strong their love is. Lisa and Ernie have served our community, and now it is our turn to help them. Your contribution to this family will help with the special bed that Lisa will need plus help with the many medical expenses that have quickly added up. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a major difference for this family. This is more than just a fundraiser; it is a community effort to help one of our own. I truly believe that we can help make a positive impact on this very deserving family’s lives. I am so very proud to be their friend, and I am so thankful to you for your generous donation.
