ADS (Advanced Drainage Systems) is organizing this fundraiser to support Chance Koloch, an employee who is facing a serious and painful medical issue involving his bladder. What began as an ongoing health struggle became even more alarming when Chance collapsed while on break at work, was taken by ambulance, and was hospitalized for several days. He did his best to return to work, but the pain and other complications remained too severe, and he eventually had to go on leave through company short-term disability. On top of the physical toll, Chance is now facing uncertainty as he looks into experimental treatments that may or may not bring relief. 
 
 
 This fundraiser is meant to help ease some of the heavy burden Chance is carrying right now. The funds will primarily go toward medical bills and everyday living expenses, since short-term disability pay does not cover everything. ADS hopes this support can give Chance and his family a little breathing room so he can focus on healing instead of falling further behind. Any support will be greatly appreciated, and every donation, share, and kind thought will mean a great deal to Chance and his family during this challenging time.

Support Chance Koloch Through Treatment & Recovery

Brian Breidenbach experienced a cardiac event on July 5th and is currently receiving care at a specialty hospital in Minneapolis. What began as a frightening and sudden emergency has become a long and uncertain road ahead for Brian and the people who love him most. 
 
 
 Brian is the kind of person who shows up for the people he loves and the community around him, consistently, and without hesitation. Whether caring for his family or volunteering and giving back to those in need, Brian has always been someone others can count on. Right now, it is our turn to show up for him and his family the same way he has always shown up for others. 
 
 
 As his family rallies by his side through what may be an extended and difficult journey, they are facing significant and ongoing expenses. Any contribution, large or small, will help ease that burden so they can focus on what matters most, being there for Brian. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. It means more than words can say.

Support for Brian Breidenbach's Family

First, I have to thank all of the good people – the friends, the family, the Fraternity Brothers, and all of the others who may have helped on their urging – over the past year and a half.  Ever since I lost my leg, I have been overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness that so many have people shared with me to help me get my life back.  Having the wound on my remaining leg which requires extensive weekly care has caused numerous problems as well. Through all of it, I have worked hard to remain grateful and positive. I have had some progress but have also suffered several setbacks.  Over the Summer it became obvious that I was going to have to apply for Social Security Disability for the short term if not permanently.  While it was my intention to regain my independence and one day thrive again, the struggle has proved too much and the setbacks too many.  I have to finally admit that I cannot do it on my own and I have failed to recover.  I have disappointed many.  I have disappointed myself.  I am close to being approved for SSD, according to my lawyer, but as of this moment, I am in severe danger.  I have been notified of EVICTION proceedings against me, and it looks that as of October 7, I will be homeless – any of my belongings will be seized and put in storage and if I do not pay to get them, I lose everything (not that I have much of value).  Also, as of October 4, my power will be shut off.  (I will call my Doctor tomorrow to see if she can send a letter to get me another month’s reprieve).  I do not know when my SS benefits might kick in, but it won't be soon enough to keep me from ending up on the street. There’s no way I can come up with the $2100 I owe for rent to keep me in my apartment. My situation is URGENT and DIRE. My last ditch effort is to BEG you all one more time out of complete DESPERATION to help me, and to spread new of my plight so that others with the means might be able to assist. I’m afraid.  I just don’t know what to do.  I have no fight in me.  I am sorry for disappointing everyone.  Please, if you are able to help me in any way, please help.  I cannot express how badly I feel right now. Anything given will be used to solve my immediate problems w/ bills and to assist me as I wait for Social Security Disability assistance.  And I promise that when I am able, I will Pay it Forward.
I love you all.

Final Desperation - I Thank You 

On the 25th of May, Jake went to the emergency room in Grand Forks only to be flown to Sanford in Fargo as he had been having multiple seizures. A CT scan revealed blood on his brain. He is currently sedated to prevent anymore seizures and will be for the next day or so. Jake is like the majority of us who live paycheck to paycheck. He has a beautiful Fiancé and a Handsome little nugget Jack to care for. Not only is this whole situation absolutely heartbreaking and scary, but scary in a financial sense as well. Jake will not be able to work for at least 6 months. If anyone can spare even a $1 to help with the medical bills they will soon be facing and to help them get by during this difficult time, it would be so dearly appreciated.

2/16/16 Update: The doctors have told JJ that they will not be able to save his foot. They are planning to have an amputation procedure in the next few days. Please, now more than ever, keep sharing the word and let's show much we are willing to help him.  One of the most loving and caring men I know, has sadly been affected by a very difficult situation. Early in January 2015, John James Sargent developed an infection in his foot. The doctors were temporarily able to treat the infection but it has recently come back with a vengeance. JJ has been in the hospital for the last few days, as he continues to fight to get stronger.  To add to the difficulties, JJ's  financial situation has collapsed and is sadly very close to being homeless. He has began the process for applying for disability and even state assistance.   JJ has always been one to help out others. He has had a major role in a local toy drive that has been going on for 7 years. He is always one of the first to respond when he sees a friend in need. He truly has a big heart and finds happiness in helping others. JJ is not the type of person to ask for help, and I know that he feels that asking is a burden. Yet, many of his friends have come together as we want to lend a helping hand. I ask us to come together as a community to help a great man out when he needs it most.  Any donation will go directly to medical bills and helping him get back on his feet.
