Update as of August 27th

Thank you to all the supporters of the Ernau Family Benefit Fund.  Yesterday the family attended Robby’s graduation from the TWU/MTA apprenticeship program.  It was a bittersweet moment for the Ernau family, as yesterday was also Robby’s last day of work.  Due to his diagnose and treatment plan, Robby is scheduled to retire in the coming days.   Please continue to keep the Ernau family in your thoughts and prayers.  

Update as of October 23rd

Robby has completed four rounds of treatment, two rounds of radiation, and few injections.
Unfortunately, the cancer is continuing to
spread to other locations. Robby is continuing to fight, he and his wife Carolyn are looking into
trials and reaching out to other cancer focused

generosity of the community and all their family and friends.
