Kailee and Ben, my daughter and son-in-law, were recently involved in a serious accident while traveling to a wedding in North Dakota with their two young sons. On May 28th, their truck blew a tire, causing their camper to shift and resulting in a total loss of both the truck and camper. Thankfully, everyone walked away with only minor injuries, but they lost nearly everything inside the camper, including many personal belongings. 
<br>
<br>
 This accident has been especially hard on Ben, who just started his own business, Midwest Mobile Co. The truck was his main repair vehicle for on-site jobs, and losing it is a major setback for his new company. Kailee will also be off work for a while as she recovers and receives chiropractic care. As many know, insurance claims can take time, and several personal items may never be recovered from the accident site. 
<br>
<br>
 We are reaching out to our community for help. Donations will go toward temporary transportation, replacing lost essentials, covering medical and chiropractic care, and supporting the family while Ben and Kailee are unable to work. Any support will help them get back on their feet after this unexpected setback. Thank you for considering a donation to help Kailee and Ben recover and rebuild.

Help Kailee & Ben Recover After Accident

<div>Adam Finseth was killed in the line of duty on February 18, 2024, while serving as a Firefighter/Paramedic with the Burnsville, MN Fire and Police Departments. Left to carry on his memory are his wife and two young children, who not only lost their father, but the lifetime of memories they had yet to create with him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Adam is being memorialized in many places, all representing his service, sacrifice and line of duty death. This project involves memorializing Adam and the way he lived.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On New Year’s Eve 2023, Adam’s children wrapped up a weekend of snowboarding lessons at Hyland Hills Ski Area, where they quickly fell in love with the sport their dad enjoyed for many years. To celebrate with them, Adam dusted off his very own snowboard and hit the slopes with the kids and their friends. It was the one and only time the kids ever got to snowboard with their dad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the day he was killed, Adam once again had big plans to snowboard with his children and their friends at Hyland Hills, and perhaps no one was more excited than he was. But those memories in the making were ripped from his hands just 12 hours before he could make them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Help us create a special memorial for Adam, in the Chalet at Hyland Hills Ski Area. Local artist <a href="https://www.shaneandersonart.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shane Anderson</a> is working with the Finseth children to design and paint a custom snowboard in memory of their dad. It will be mounted near the entrance of the Chalet. And there, it will remind his children and all who visit, of the incredible way Adam lived, and loved, his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds will help pay for the artist’s supplies, he’s donating his time and talents, not asking for anything in return, so we’d like to help him pay for the paint and refinishing supplies he’ll need. Any additional funds will be used to create a duplicate vinyl wrap and custom board for each of Adam’s children to use next year, and keep forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you!

Honoring Adam Finseth with a Memorial Snowboard

<p>We are Dean's parents, and we are raising funds for our son's therapy. 
</p><br />
<p>Dean is a very sweet and goofy child until his mood disorder is triggered, and then he becomes violent. Most days, he attacks at least one person, wanting to kill them or himself. Last year in school, he hurt a little girl, and she ended up hospitalized for several days with a brain injury. 
</p><br />
<p>Our 9-year-old has been receiving in-home behavioral therapy since he was 2, and we have had major success in some areas, and little to no success in others, including aggression towards others and self-harm. These violent episodes have become more severe as he gets older, larger, and stronger. 
</p><br />
<p>The therapy we are hoping to try is called <b>Magnetic Resonance Therapy (MeRT)</b>, which targets specific areas in the brain with magnets to help the brain retrain processing. <b>This therapy is not covered by insurance and costs around $13,000 or more, depending on the length of treatment.</b>
</p><br />
<p>This is a daily treatment for 8 weeks, which means we will need to take time off of work as well as cover the costs of the therapy. 
</p><br />
<p>If you've met Dean or heard his family talk about him, you know how draining his behavior has become and how desperate we are for relief. Dean also wants this because he does not like hurting people and is so very remorseful afterward. 
</p><br />
<p><b>If you are able to help in any way, we would be unbelievably appreciative.</b>
</p>

Help Dean Access Life-Changing Therapy

<div>We come together with heavy hearts to honor the life and legacy of our dear friend, Adam Finseth, who tragically lost his life in the line of service as a firefighter and EMT. With over six years of dedicated service to our community, Adam's exemplified bravery, selflessness, and unwavering dedication to helping others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Not only was Adam a devoted first responder, but he was also a cherished veteran who continued his commitment to service long after his military service had ended. He bravely faced danger to ensure the safety and well-being of those around him, and his impact on countless lives will never be forgotten.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beyond his role as a public servant, Adam was a beloved father and loving husband. He cherished his family above all else and worked tirelessly to provide them with love, support, and security. His loss leaves a void that can never be filled, and our hearts ache for his family as they navigate this unimaginable grief.

Adam's Family

<div><strong>The Dover-Eyota Marching Band is badly in need of new uniforms. The Dover-Eyota Marching Band spends most of the summer practicing and performing around Southeast Minnesota festivals with over 100 member from Dover-Eyota Middle/High Schools.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why does the band need new uniforms:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>The current uniforms are 14 years old and many have been mended so many times they are in rough condition (seams coming apart regularly, parts coming off).
</li>
<li>There are NOT enough uniforms to fit the whole marching band. For the past 2 years, the drumline has been in a separate uniform because of this. We own a set of 90 uniforms, which fits approx. 70 students. Our marching band numbers are around 100 for 2 yrs in a row. To fit that many members, we need 130 uniforms, minimum.
</li>
<li>Newer uniforms are made of better lighter material for designed for the hot summer weather.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Single new uniform, top and bottom costs $425, guaranteed to last 12 years.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our total goal:</strong> $65,000
</div>
<div>We already have a donation of $30,000 from an anonymous community member (THANK YOU!), $7,500 from community donations, $1,000 from Hiawatha Sno-Seekers, $5,000 from Viola Gopher Count Committee, $5,000 from the Dover Firefighters Association, $2,500 Eyota Legion, and $7,000 from the Dover-Eyota Eagles Foundation. If we can raise another $7,000, that would allow the band to also purchase new garment bags, hats, hat boxes, plumes, hangers, a few extra uniforms, uniform racks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Students designed the new uniforms with DE Band Director Mr. Anderson and would need to be ordered by late December to be manufactured by this summer's season.
</div>
<div><br />

He suffered 10 broken ribs, collapsed lungs, 2 fractured vertebrae (one in his neck and one in his lower back), and a fractured pelvis. His team of doctors don't believe these injuries will affect his mobility however he will be down for some time healing up his ribs and dealing with the surgeries in his future. He was approved for FMLA but he was denied short term disability. Any help would be appreciated to help get him and Mason through this!

Steve Nelson's PML Treatment Fundraiser

<p dir="ltr">Peter &amp; LeeAnn Nelson Fundraiser
</p>

<p dir="ltr">Dear Friends &amp; Family, I am asking for help for my Aunt &amp; Uncle, Pete &amp; LeeAnn Nelson.&#160;January 27, LeeAnn thought Pete was having a stroke because he seemed confused and not himself so she took him to the emergency room. The next day Pete was diagnosed with Lymphoma on his brain. The next couple weeks were spent undergoing extensive medical tests scans, etc. Pete&#8217;s doctor assured Pete &amp; LeeAnn that this would be completely curable because they found it early. February 13th Pete had a brain biopsy. When Pete came out of surgery he was not able to move the entire right side of his body. The medical staff called this &#8220;weakness&#8221;&#160; (LeeAnn&#8217;s father &amp; my grandpa had a stroke many years ago and also was paralyzed on &#189; of his body. Pete&#8217;s &#8216;weakness&#8217; appears exactly the same as a stroke). Pete had one round of Chemo after surgery and then had to go to rehab. They were not given a choice where Pete could go for rehab, which they should have. They were told he had to go to the place they referred him to. While at this rehab, Pete got &#8216;Community Pneumonia&#8217; and a Blood Clot in his lung because of the Pneumonia. Because of this, Pete was sent back to the hospital for 3 weeks on the strongest antibiotics and steroids. He still has Pneumonia today because the one round of Chemo weakened his immune system. After 3 weeks in the hospital, Pete &amp; LeeAnn were able to select another rehab facility of their choice which LeeAnn tells me was a great place. 2 weeks later, Pete had to move back to the hospital because his tumor had increased and his brain was swelling. Today Pete is dying in the living room of the home they have shared for more than 30 years. I saw them on Sunday and Pete was responsive and awake. Yesterday Pete never woke up. His nurse told LeeAnn he should pass in the next day or two. Today is LeeAnn&#8217;s birthday and it breaks my heart that she has to watch her husband die in their home. 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">This is Pete&#8217;s second big cancer battle. He won the first time, but it cost them their life savings. They both had to cash in all of their retirement &amp; 401k&#8217;s a few years ago to make ends meet when Pete lost his great job and was fighting for his life at the same time. This time around, they do not have any resources to pay the huge medical deductibles and soon LeeAnn will be paying for a funeral. Neither of them have been working over the past couple months because Pete has been in the hospital and LeeAnn has been by his side. 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">Pete &amp; LeeAnn have always been a super fun and generous couple. When they are in the room Pete was always telling jokes and making people laugh. I was always smiling and happy and felt welcome and loved in their company and I am certain many other family and friends feel the same way.
</p>

<p dir="ltr">Please donate if you can to help LeeAnn with the overwhelming debt they have incurred in the past few months. Everything counts and is very much appreciated.&#160; Thank you very much!
</p>
