We never seem to be prepared for what life throws at us, unfortunately Justin and Deidre have been given some of the scariest news. Justin experienced some right side weakness and partial paralysis and went in to be evaluated at Parkview. After testing began they found a mass in his brain. This mass is located in a tricky area and Parkview neuro wasn’t comfortable handling the biopsy. Justin has been referred to Cleveland clinic and was transferred there to complete further testing. Next step is biopsy, then set up a plan of action.

Justin is a wonderful husband and loving father to two littles. He works hard and provides for his family so his wife Deidre can run the house and give their wonderful little girl with Down syndrome the ability to make all of her therapy sessions and doctors appointments.

With Justin out of work and unable to schedule his usual extra hours it will leave them struggling to make ends meet on-top of lodging during their back and forth trips to Cleveland. Not to mention Christmas is right around the corner and we all know the toll this takes on our financials even when we can work.

It’s our turn to support our first responder friend who was willing to put his life on the line to keep us and his community safe. Let’s show the Koehl family how much they are loved and supported by relieving a small burden in this journey.
