Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

We are reaching out to you today with heavy hearts and a deep sense of urgency. Our beloved student, Kenneth Reidenbach, a 2023 high school graduate, has recently been diagnosed with brain cancer, and his journey towards recovery has been nothing short of a roller coaster. We are rallying together to support Kenneth and his family during this incredibly challenging time.

Kenneth's diagnosis came as a shock to all of us. The doctors discovered a significant mass on his brain that required immediate attention. He underwent not one, but two grueling surgeries, each lasting more than 6 hours. Thankfully, the skilled medical team was able to remove approximately 85% of the tumor, but the battle is far from over.

Kenneth has big dreams for his future. He was planning on attending college in the fall to pursue his passion for baking. An accomplished artist and musician, Kenneth's creativity and talent have always shone brightly in his endeavors. Beyond his accomplishments, Kenneth is known for his kindness, compassion, and great sense of humor, which are now helping him in his battle against this insidious disease.

The aftermath of the surgeries has left Kenneth with an uphill battle to regain his health. He is currently facing limited feeling and movement on his left side, along with blurry vision and extreme fatigue. His resilience and determination shine through as he navigates through each day with unwavering courage.

Kenneth has spent over three weeks in the hospital so far, enduring numerous tests and procedures to pinpoint the exact nature of his condition. The medical team is diligently working to provide a precise diagnosis that will guide the next steps of his treatment plan. He is also awaiting the results of a spinal tap to determine if the cancer has spread to his spine.

While Kenneth's spirit remains strong, the financial burden of his medical journey is beginning to take a toll on him and his family. Medical bills, ongoing treatments, and the potential for extended hospital stays are placing an immense strain on their resources. This is where your support can truly make a difference.

We invite you to join us in contributing to Kenneth's GoFundMe campaign. Your generous donation will directly assist with medical expenses, specialized treatments, rehabilitation, and any other needs that arise during his fight against brain cancer. Every dollar brings us one step closer to easing the financial burden that has added to the weight of this challenging situation.

Your support means the world to Kenneth and his family. Let's stand united and show them that they are not alone in this fight.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey towards hope, healing, and recovery. We love you Ken!!!
