As many of you may or may not know, my dad, Gerard Sr., was diagnosed with multiple myeloma back in October of 2016. Shortly after that, he started a three-drug chemo treatment. He continued to work all throughout the treatments, and this July (2019) he finally finished the last round. A couple weeks later he traveled to Seattle to determine if he was a candidate for a more intense chemo and stem cell treatment. At this point the doctors thought he was in serological remission. After determining that he was a candidate for this new treatment, they found that the cancer was already slowly coming back. My dad wanted to try and put off this stem cell treatment for a year, but the doctors have said that it needs to happen as soon as possible.<br /><br />So, starting this September 11th (2019) my dad will be traveling to Seattle where he will start this new, and more intense, treatment. Because of the intensity of this treatment, my dad will be required to be near the hospital for 90-100 days while he recovers in case there are complications or infections occur. Because of this, my mom will be going with him, and she will also be staying for the duration of the treatment and recovery. This means that both my mom and dad will be out of work and without pay for 3+ months. If you know my parents at all, you know that they are not ones to ask for help; in fact, they would much rather be the ones giving their time/money to help others. Unfortunately, bills do not stop just because you are undergoing chemo treatments, and they will also have to stay in an apartment right next to the hospital for the first month of the treatment.<br /><br />It is because of all of these things that I have, with my father’s permission, set up this GoFundMe. I am asking for your help. This will be an incredibly difficult time for dad and for our family as a whole. I know that we live in difficult times, but I’m asking for your help in any way that you can. Whether that be through a donation, a private message, a phone call, a card, a letter, or even just simply keeping my father and our family in your prayers these next 3-4 months, any and all of these things would be greatly appreciated. Any money raised here will only be used by my parents to help pay the incoming bills, rent at the apartment, and any other necessary items needed while undergoing this treatment.<br /><br />With that I’d like to say thank you. My parents thank you. My brother thanks you. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart. My brother and I also plan on using this page to keep you all up to date, as best I can, throughout this whole process. I will be in Mississippi while all of this is happening so the updates might be a day or two after the fact, but it will be updated as soon as possible. Thank you again to all of you.

<div>On Saturday, February 22nd, citizens gathered at a town hall in Kootenai County, Idaho, to speak with elected members of the Idaho Legislature about important issues affecting their community. What should have been a peaceful and productive event, where people exercised their right to voice their concerns, quickly turned into a violation of Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl’s constitutional rights.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In a shocking and unlawful turn of events, Dr. Borrenpohl was detained by an unmarked paramilitary squad—an unknown and unnamed group of individuals with no clear authority or justification for their actions. What’s even more alarming is that the local sheriff, who, instead of protecting Dr. Borrenpohl, stood by and filmed the incident on his phone after encouraging her violent removal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This detainment wasn’t just an unfortunate moment—it was an illegal violation of Dr. Borrenpohl’s rights. She was denied her freedom of assembly, her freedom of speech, and most importantly, her right to be free from unlawful detention. This is not just an isolated event; it is a chilling reminder that, even in the United States, our civil liberties can be stripped away without warning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dr. Borrenpohl is now taking a stand to ensure this injustice does not go unchecked. She is committed to holding those responsible accountable and fighting for the protection of our fundamental rights. But to do so, she needs your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The legal costs to defend her rights and to ensure that no one else suffers a similar fate are significant. Dr. Borrenpohl is seeking funds to retain a skilled lawyer who can help her navigate this complex situation, challenge this unlawful detention, and protect citizens from future violations of their rights.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No American should fear being carted away by an unnamed paramilitary force without cause. The protection of our freedoms—freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to be free from unlawful detention—should never be taken for granted. Dr. Borrenpohl is not just fighting for herself; she is fighting for every one of us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating to help Dr. Borrenpohl retain legal counsel and ensure that this injustice is properly addressed. Your support is crucial in defending our rights and ensuring that justice prevails.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with Dr. Borrenpohl, for the protection of our civil liberties, and for the preservation of justice in America. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in this fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s stand together and ensure that no one’s rights are taken away without consequence.
</div>

Justice for Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl: Fight for the First

<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52246736_1609363439255006_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="52246736_1609363439255006_r.jpeg" /><br />     In July of 2020, Jenice found out she had an aggressive form of cervical cancer.  The Ahlberg family, shaken by this news, rallied around Jenice to help her in any way possible.  Radiation treatment was rough, and even though the initial tumor was shrinking, we found out that her cancer was stage 4 in August.  Her nutrition, energy, and weight dropped to dangerous levels and consistent blood transfusions were needed in order to provide sustainment. A couple weeks before Thanksgiving, she was admitted to the hospital after a particularly rough day spurred a moment of crisis. Thankfully, during the next week of closely watched care and IV nutrition, she was able to start eating again, and improved enough to complete radiation treatments and start immunotherapy. Shortly thereafter, Jenice had the energy to not only be herself again, but also to be present for Thanksgiving and then to plan and produce one more amazing Christmas for her family. We enjoyed days of laughing, baking, family meals, and going for walks around the neighborhood. On the morning of December 29th Jenice went to be with her Lord.<br /><br />     We are grieving for Jenice, and know many of you are as well. Moving forward, her husband Tom needs a way to pay for the total cost of healthcare bills and funeral expenses. We would be blessed if you would consider helping us by donating in memory of Jenice.  She was the glue for our family for many years, always praying and providing with an amazing sixth sense for our needs. Her roles stretched from homework helper; themed birthday party guru; “boarding-house-for-anyone-in-need”; all the way to an incredible peacemaker and spiritual guide. Before cancer struck, she partnered with her daughter Aubrey and built an incredibly successful real estate business through Windermere, tackled her fitness with an amazing determination, and never stopped loving us. We will cherish our many memories for the rest of our lives, and will rest knowing that she is free of pain and full of love forever.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52246736_1609363521415986_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="52246736_1609363521415986_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52246736_1609363720706321_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="52246736_1609363720706321_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52246736_1609364381676744_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="52246736_1609364381676744_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52246736_1609364497514672_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="52246736_1609364497514672_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52246736_160936466575327_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="52246736_160936466575327_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52246736_1609364898257136_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="52246736_1609364898257136_r.jpeg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/52246736_1609364927144882_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="52246736_1609364927144882_r.jpeg" />

In Memory of Jenice Henderson-Ahlberg

Hello.<br /><br />In less than an hour Jerry Meyer, our father, grandfather (Papa), uncle, best friend,  loyal co-worker, and good man lost his home along with almost everything he owned. <br /><br />In the early evening of September 12th, 2020, a fire consumed Jerry's home.  Jerry has some insurance, but it will not cover all he has lost.   We all want to help him in some way.  Some people have helped dig through the ashes, others have brought food and water, some have helped get Red Cross emergency donations, some have given their shoulders to cry on, and many have prayed.  Now that the cleanup is near finishing up, we all want to continue to do what little we can to help support Jerry in rebuilding his life.  We want to show Jerry that there is hope.  We want him to know in his heart that beauty can come from ashes.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/51433678_1601076389216407_r.jpeg" alt="51433678_1601076389216407_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />Jerry lived alone in his home at 39355 Pourroy Ave on the outskirts of Temecula, CA .  He has worked hard all his life. In his early years he was a licensed journeyman plumber and worked in a plumbing business with his brother-in-law.  In mid-life he started and ran a successful carpet cleaning company that operated in the South Los Angeles and Orange County area. For the most recent 17 years Jerry has worked as a school bus driver for the Temecula School District, and the last 8 years he also served as a bus driver for the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians.<br /><br />He had just received out-of-state visitors at his home when the fire started.  His family from Seattle, his daughter, Tammy , his grandson, Joshua, and a family friend, Vicki had arrived to stay and visit him for a few days.  <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/51433678_1601076818315208_r.jpeg" alt="51433678_1601076818315208_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />There was a short period of confusion when Jerry and his guests began to smell smoke.  Not knowing where it was coming from, they each began to look around.  The realization came fast. The fire had started outside the home and was quickly beginning to overtake the house.  The family moved fast.  Jerry attempted to put out the fire with the garden hose, but it had grown too quickly.  Tammy assisted Vicki out of the house, but could only get her to the stairs.  They paused and Tammy called 911.  Joshua and a neighbor, Carol, assisted in helping Vicki move along quicker.  Jerry, realizing that Vicki needed further help to get out of harm's way,  ran to get a wheelchair out of his RV that was parked next to the home.  The house fire had already spread and the RV was also on fire.  Jerry got the wheelchair to Vicki and they all moved as fast as they could down the long driveway and out to the street.  By now the entire home, the RV, and the nearby cars were all being consumed by the flames.  The whole area was engulfed in toxic black smoke.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/51433678_1601076961172599_r.jpeg" alt="51433678_1601076961172599_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />The house was well-involved with flames when the Temecula Fire Department arrived.  One fire fighter suffered heat exhaustion and was taken by ambulance to the hospital for evaluation. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/51433678_1601077025451256_r.jpeg" alt="51433678_1601077025451256_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />Jerry's family and friends, including all four of his children, helped to sift through the ashes for cherished belongings.  An item Jerry had prayed he would find was a small, gold locket he kept that had belonged to his only sister.  Smaller than the size of a penny, and with the fire having turned everything to charred wood and ashes, there was no realistic thought that it would be found.   Every indication was that hope was lost.  Then, Jerry's son, Tom spotted something attached to a chain.  It was the locket! Inside the locket, as if encased in a fireproof vault safe from all heat and flame, were the two tiny photos of Jerry and his sister Cathy.  The photos were completely unharmed.  A clear message that hope is never lost.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/51433678_1601077123765879_r.jpeg" alt="51433678_1601077123765879_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />We have each thought about that one thing we would grab if our homes caught fire.  Jerry grabbed a wheelchair, and yet he still got his one thing. <br /><br />There is hope.  There is beauty for ashes.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/51433678_1601077149796097_r.jpeg" alt="51433678_1601077149796097_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />What does beauty for ashes mean?<br /><br />God loved us so much He says He can give us beauty for ashes according to Isaiah 61:3 that says, “to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”  God says He will take away the wounded/unhappy/pain parts of our lives and make it beautiful.

Beauty For Ashes

<div><strong>We are raising funds to help Matthew cover out-of-pocket medical costs following a recent ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) diagnosis. </strong>Matthew was diagnosed in October 2025, and since then, life has changed quickly—more appointments, more testing, and a growing list of care needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ALS is a progressive neurological disease that affects muscle function, speech, swallowing, breathing, and mobility. Since Matthew’s diagnosis, increased doctor visits, therapies, copays, travel to specialists, and new medical equipment needs have quickly
</div>
<div>added up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While these expenses were manageable at the end of 2025, early 2026 brought a wave of out-of-pocket costs, especially for insurance and initial treatments. As we navigate these financial challenges, it becomes essential to communicate how you can make a tangible impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Goal</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>We are seeking $15,000 to help cover Matthew’s insurance deductible and essential medical expenses, so that his care can continue without financial delays. </strong>The support will allow Matthew and me to focus on his health, and we are grateful for every contribution. Below is how your help will make a difference:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Your Gift Helps Cover:</strong>
</div>
<div>Every dollar raised will go directly toward Matthew’s medical care and related needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• <strong>Insurance Deductible:</strong> $5k
</div>
<div>• <strong>Quarterly ALS Clinic </strong>- Seeing Half a Dozen Specialists
</div>
<div>•<strong> Speech Device </strong>to Help Verbal Communication
</div>
<div>• <strong>Medicine Copays </strong>(and out-of-pocket costs)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ll continue sharing updates and progress on Matthew’s CaringBridge site so you can follow along and stay connected.
</div>
<div><br />
