Help the Rempel Family

Hey everyone, Chris Rempel here (Kurt's younger brother)
As you may already know, Maryann’s ongoing battle with cervical cancer has been hard fought for over 3 years now.
The last few months have been especially hard - waiting for all manner of tests to come back after aggressive radiation & chemo.
And unfortunately, recent findings are showing that the cancer has not responded as hoped, with a large inoperable tumor pushing against her remaining kidney, veins, lymph nodes, and nerves.
Kurt and the kids (Mason, Ally & Everett) all remain hopeful, but at the moment it seems current treatment options have been exhausted.
So as of today, her case is now designated as palliative care.
As soon as Maryann is stabilized and key preparations are made, they’ll be moving her back home so she can be close to the kids, Kurt - and the dogs.
As you can imagine, this has been an incredibly stressful time for the Rempels. And the recent news has been devastating.
It’s also been physically & financially challenging.
As MA’s primary caregiver through all this - on top of being a father of three, managing the house and everything else - Kurt is up against a tremendous challenge to somehow keep food on the table, bills paid, and everything else afloat.
There are so many unknowns right now, and for obvious reasons, full-time employment isn’t a realistic option for this next phase.
Given everything they’re facing - amidst a pandemic, no less - the Rempel family is going to need our support. Please donate if you can, no matter the amount - all funds go to Kurt & fam, and it all helps.
