Ron Steiger- Medical Fundraiser

Hello! If you're on this gofundme page, it's because you know our dear friend, Ron Steiger. Whether in person or through one of his many Facebook groups or selfless endeavors, you've likely heard about or seen Ron going out of his way to make everyone's day brighter. We've all seen him delivering girl scout cookies for Valentine's Day, dressing up as Santa Claus and and other holiday characters to cheer people up, delivering gifts to sick/needy children, dropping off soup to a sick friend... You name it, he's done it! You know he is THE guy, the guy who is ALWAYS there to help everyone. Unfortunately, now Ron needs YOUR help. We are starting a gofundme because due to some recent health setbacks, Ron is expected to be out of work for 4‐6 months.

If you haven't heard, over the last few weeks Ron was rushed to the hospital on 3 separate occasions. The first time it was determined that he had a stroke from AFib which caused his left side to be paralyzed. This kept him in the ICU for 5 days. A few days later he was rushed back to the hospital because he thought he was having another stroke. Instead, it was determined that it was a TIA (transient ischemic attack- a brief blockage of blood to the brain) and he was released 4 days later. On his third emergency trip to the hospital last week, doctors determined that he had a hemiplegic migraine.

Ron is now home and his doctors have put him on full bedrest and advised him not to drive. He cannot work and has been told to limit any screen time he is exposed to so he can rest his body and mind.

In the last few weeks he has seen the cardiologist, neurologist, stroke neurologist and his GP, and has upcoming appointments with a gastro, pulmonary doctor, and a neuro optometrist. Even after all of the appointments he's had already, doctors are still puzzled. He has very little balance, is dizzy, nauseated, suffering from very bad head aches, can’t eat, has lost weight and is sleeping for most of the day/night.

Due to Ron's extended absence from work, please consider making a donation to help him get through the next few months as he recovers.

Thank you!!
