Chip's Medical Fund
Donation protected
Chip and his family recently moved to Omaha where his wife Jennifer, an alum of the University of Iowa History Department where I work, had taken a job. Suddenly, an unexpected medical crisis arose requiring doctors to hospitalize Chip so that he could undergo emergency surgery. Leaving his partner, a new pre-tenure professor, to care for three children, including a pre-schooler, Chip survived and is recovering from a perforated bowel that would have taken his life if the doctors had not acted quickly. Now, Chip and his family face a long recovery involving four to six months of healing in preparation for a second surgery. All told, Chip will be out of commission for at least a year, facing short-term, possibly long-term disability. Medical bills, lost income, unexpected expenses, and uncertainty hang over Chip and his wife, a dear friend and colleague. I hope to raise money to help them through this crisis with help from friends and family who, like me, don’t want to see them suffer a setback after years of study and hard work to get where they are. Please give what you can.
