Rick Damrau and his family’s fight against Leukemia
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Jenn. I am helping to raise money for Rick Damrau to offset upcoming medical and other unexpected expenses. All donations collected will go to the Damrau family directly.
I have been a longtime family friend of the Damrau’s; graduated with their son Jason and daughter Kayla (my best/oldest friend). I know Rick nor Stacey would ever ask for anything from anyone. I feel this is the time to come together as the close community that we are and show our love and support!
Rick is and always has been the protector of his family. The man in the storm. The man of MANY stories, jokes, and help when anyone needed it.
As many of you know, Rick owns a solo run electrical business A.J Rick Electric. This business is what has provided for his family for years past.
Unfortunately, for the near future Rick will not be able to bring in any income from his business. Rick was recently diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and will begin intensive chemotherapy treatments with the optimistic hope that he will receive a bone marrow transplant in the foreseeable future. This road is long and tough and their family will need support from friends, family, and the community.
This news follows his wife Stacey’s ongoing battle with oral cancer that was diagnosed in 2021.
Unfortunately, Stacey has had to endure repeated surgeries and infections which impact her daily life. Despite all this, they also raise their oldest grandaughter, Kylie. As we learn more each day, we know Rick’s road to remission and recovery will be long with many potential and unforeseen hurdles and needs. We are asking for donations to mitigate some of the financial strain this will pose to him and his family in the coming days, weeks, and even years. The most important thing to us all is this will provide comfort to a man whose sole purpose has been to protect and provide for his family.
Thank you so much for considering donation, no amount is too little. We all appreciate any positive thoughts and prayers sent their way.
