Hello, my name is Meri Fruh. I have a story to tell. After weeks in the hospital in my hometown in ND, in a very fragile state, my lifetime friend Jennifer Eriksmoen is in ICU intubated under sedation. Jennifer, pictured here with her sister, Tracey Olson, and her entire family need our support and prayers. Those of you who know Jennifer, even just as an acquaintance when you are shopping at the local grocery where she works part time, know what a light she is to everyone in her family, church, and community. After weeks of not knowing why she is so weak and fragile, undergoing numerous tests and an invasive surgery to remove her spleen, she still does not have a true diagnosis and has developed pulmonary embolisms which have made her situation life or death.

Tracey has taken over POA and is looking for prayers, answers and support as this has already been a long journey and it is only getting tougher. Jennifer does not have health insurance to cover all of her medical bills. Jennifer unfortunately has no benefits for coverage for income while she is in the hospital and recovering.

I am grateful for anything you can do to help Tracey, Jennifer, their mother, Louise, and the entire family. Jennifer is tough. Jennifer is a cancer survivor. Jennifer is a warrior. Jennifer is a daughter, sister, aunt, friend. Most of all, Jennifer loves everyone with her HUGE heart ❤️

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Thank you for love, prayers and friendship.

(in the words of Jennifer without fail)

Love Always and Forever,

Meri Lynn Fruh
