The Rhonda Sue Wickerham Memorial Donations
Donation protected
Dear friends and family,
The purpose for this GOFUNDME fundraiser is to help replenish funds that our parents have had to use over these past last two years. (March, 2019 – November, 2020) Costs for our mom (Rhonda Sue Wickerham) that were incurred, include: residual medical expenses, expenditures for multiple driving trips, traveling to and from medical facilities, both in Michigan and in Milwaukee. Additionally, there were costs for some hotel/motel stays in those areas. Also, this GOFUNDME will help cover expenses for our mom’s final arrangements and future memorial.
Our dad is a musician, specifically a performing Organist (Theatre Organist) who plays concerts. That is what he does and those performances are his primary source of income. Starting in March of 2019 our dad has been by our mom’s side as she battled cancer. In 2019, he gave up a total of 35 concert dates, in becoming her primary caregiver. In 2020, he has continued caregiving to mom. He had booked a few concerts that would have coordinated with mom’s treatment schedule however, due to Covid-19, those dates all had to be canceled or postponed, at least to 2021.
We would appreciate any assistance that you can provide.
Thank you,
Matthew, Julia and Emily (Wickerham children)
