If you are reading this, then you are lucky enough to somehow be connected to the one and only Larry Eberle. His infectious sense of humor, musical and poetic talents, incredible creativity, kind heart and fun-loving spirit bring so much joy and laughter into this world. This amazing man has been on the roller coaster of his life, and unfortunately, it's not the kind anyone wants to ride.
As you probably know, he's been battling cancer for a few years (including original bout in 2016 and his relapse this past year). While finally enjoying some relatively pain-free days in Florida on vacation, things changed quickly and he landed in the ER in Fort Myers on Tuesday, January 15th. They discovered a bowel perforation and he was whisked away to emergency surgery. Since then, he has been in the ICU and weathered many complications. As of Tuesday, February 12th he was transferred out of ICU and remains in the hospital in Fort Myers.
Those of us who have the privilege and honor to know Lynn and Larry, know that they would never want to burden anyone or ask for help. But countless people have asked how to support him and his family during this difficult time. So, we've taken it upon ourselves to set up this page to raise some money to defer the cost of a medical flight to get Larry back home to St. Louis, Missouri (sorry Larry, the weather isn’t exactly warm and welcoming at the moment, but there’s no place like home).
The flight is approximately $15,000 (his seat better include extra leg room and a complimentary drink!). Once back in St. Louis, the plan is for Larry to go to Evelyn House, a home for hospice patients. It's a lovely place, but there will most likely be a lot of cost incurred as his insurance may only cover some of the expenses. Details are still being worked out but it could cost as much as $500/day for him to be there.
Of course Lynn and their boys Pat, Paul and Charlie are totally focused on Larry and making sure his needs are covered. But we also know that they have spent a lot of money on unexpected expenses during the month he has been in the hospital in order to be with him as much as possible. They've had to rent condos and cars, and pay for lots of flights back and forth, all the while missing work. They wouldn’t have it any other way, but we want to ease the financial stress as much as possible.
This fundraiser will provide peace of mind to the Eberles as they all return home with Larry, so they can continue providing him with all the support he needs. Not only will the money raised help with the medical flight and his ongoing care, but it will also allow for the mounting medical bills to be paid. And most of all, your monetary support will give peace of mind to Lynn and the boys while they remain strong by Larry's side every step of the way.
Thank you for your ongoing support, love, prayers, thoughts, cards, and gifts. They are all very much appreciated by the Eberle family.
