Support for Paul's Health Recovery

Donation protected
Hi, My name is Brittany, and I'm fundraising for Paul & Dee Held. The Held family has been my second family for many years now. I consider Paul & Dee another set of parents and they have always welcomed me with open arms like I was one of their own.

As many have heard, Paul Held (Mr. Held) suffered a stroke on Wednesday, December 6. He was taken to a nearby hospital and underwent surgery to removed the blockage, and is recovering.

His wife Dee and daughters Kirsten and Emily have been taking care of him, as he continues to improve, and hopefully soon into a rehab facility to recover.

During this time, Dee and Kirsten are going to be splitting care for Paul with their own jobs, while Emily supports from afar.

Paul and Dee are not ones to ask for help, but so many have offered. I've started this fund to assist them with groceries, gas, and eventual medical expenses, so the Held's can focus on getting Paul better and back to school and his beloved Blues games.

Thank you for sharing, donating, & your support during this time.
