Help Support the Scherer family

Update 1/26/22

When this GoFundMe was started back in December, it was to help pay for housing so the family could stay close to Steve while he was so critical. Now, they need help with the cost of getting Steve transported home from Florida safely, modifying the house as needed, medical equipment and medical costs from his extended stay in the hospital/rehabilitation center.  Please consider donating to help alleviate some of the burden from this family! Thank you all so much!

I am reaching out to our amazing family and friends, as each one of you continue to provide love, support, guidance and prayers to those who are in need in our communities. Christmas is the season of giving and I would be remiss if I did not follow my heart. 

 

You see, one of our own needs our help - with love, strength, lots of prayers and we would love to assist this family also with a little financial support to help cover housing and any other necessities they may need. Let me share the background:

 

The Scherer Family was enjoying a family vacation together at the beginning of December in Disney World. On Friday, December 3rd, Mr. Steve Scherer suffered a hemorrhagic (brain bleed) stroke upon leaving the Candlelight Processional and is currently in Orlando Regional Medical Center. He has had many ups and downs over the last 2 weeks, but one thing has stayed constant - his family is at his side, rooting him on and providing the love & support he needs right now.  He was previously in the Neuro ICU and has had a bit of a rollercoaster, which will continue to take him on a bit of a ride through his recovery. I am happy to report, however, the latest update tonight (Sunday, Dec 19th) is that he has been moved to the Step Down Neuro Unit, but he is still considered "very acutely ill". He did have to have a trach put in, but has seen improvement by no longer needing the vent with his trach & he is breathing on his own.

 

Part of the family is currently staying in Florida to be with him, so as a result, they are living out of a hotel for now & looking for a more permament location starting January 12th. Along with hotel stays comes the need for all of the necessities- including food, gas, toiletries, etc. We would love to relieve a portion of this burden and ease their minds as they navigate these rough waters. Any assistance you could provide would be wonderful as the family is doing everything they can to stay together, please remember, every dollar adds up. I sincerely thank each and every one of you, I know it is Christmas and we would love nothing more than to put a little Christmas spirit back into the Scherer Family during this most difficult time.
