Brenda Ketcham Family Support Fund

Donation protected
To family and friends of Tony and Brenda (Rasmussen) Ketcham:
 
Brenda is seriously ill and needs our prayers and also our support. 

For those who are not aware of who I am, I grew up in Ogallala and Brenda is one of my favorite life long friends.

I set up this campaign on the family's behalf.

During my own prayers for this special family I considered the costs of serious illness, the astronomical costs of medical airlift, a family unable to work at this time, while marshalling their resources to gather the family around Brenda in Colorado.

I felt compelled to setup this funding campaign.

Many small donations can greatly assist our friends.

How will Brenda and Tony receive your generous donations?   Tony is named as the beneficiary on this campaign. It directly links  to their bank account to transfer funds. I will not have access to any of the money.

I appreciate your consideration and ask your help to share the campaign with others.

See below the situation at hand.

Brenda Ketcham is currently very ill, and it seems not a great deal is known at this time, as her family is focused on being with her and cannot update often.

What we do know is what has been shared by them; a few days ago Brenda collapsed following some type of seizure activity and losing consciousness while having morning coffee with her husband Tony.

She ended up being life flighted from North Platte to University of Colorado because her condition was declining rapidly.

The last update was that she is suffering serious issues with her lungs and that she is being kept heavily sedated while on a respirator, in the hopes her lungs can use this time to rest and get stronger.

Please lift Brenda and her family in your prayers and send her all the healing love, light and energy that you can. Let's reflect back to Brenda all the kindness and encouragement she has  provided for all of us throughout our lives, and that she and her family continue to spread to all they meet.

A donation of any size is a blessing for this family we love and care for.

Thank you for sharing this message and campaign with others!
