Supporting Dan Richards

Recently, our dearest dad, Dan Richards, experienced an unexpected fall that left him with a broken knee—fractured in three places. This injury is severe and will require surgery to properly heal. He will need cleared for surgery after two previous heart attacks. Unfortunately, the road to recovery will be long and challenging if he is able to have surgery or not. He’ll need support, both financially and emotionally, as he navigates through this difficult time.


As many of you know, our dad is a hardworking, loving, and devoted father, always putting others first. He’s the kind of person who would do anything to help his family and friends. The surgery and/or rehab process are expected to be lengthy, and during this time, he will be unable to work to make extra income, which is what he would normally do even in retirement. Medical bills, physical therapy costs, and daily living expenses are all mounting, and this is where we need your help.


We’re asking for donations, no matter how big or small, to support our dad during his recovery. Your generosity will help cover:


- **Surgery and medical bills**  

- **Rehabilitation and physical therapy**  

- **Everyday living expenses while he’s unable to work**


We understand that times are tough for many, and any contribution—whether financial or through words of encouragement—will make a world of difference. We are so incredibly grateful for your support, your prayers, and the love you've always shown our family. Together, we can help Dan recover from this.


Thank you for being part of this journey!

With love and gratitude,  

The Richards Family

I hope your dad is able to get the surgery he needs. I don’t know your family but I grew up in Corning and have lived in California for the past 40 years. My dad needed help from his neighbors in the late ‘80’s. Iowans don’t disappoint !!!!

Update #2

February 5th, 2025

Dad had his EKG-appointment yesterday and got his results back today. The doctors are wanting to wait on his surgery as he is marked as a high risk for heart complications. So to avoid any risk of another heart attack during the surgery they’re gonna wait. They think he’s got undiagnosed Cardiovascular disease and also believe he’s got a major blockage to his heart that they want to check in on. So, to check further into this he’ll have two follow up appointments at Methodist Hospital in Des Moines over the next few weeks. The first will be to meet with the doctor to go over what the next steps will be and to set up the second appointment of an angiogram. As of now the main concern is his heart. Once they get that figured out they’ll then work on getting his knee fixed. All continued love, prayer, and support is greatly appreciated! Thank you everyone!

Update #1

January 28th, 2025

Dad had an appointment yesterday and today. Yesterday, he met with the ortho doctor and discovered he actually broke his knee in four places. They discussed the plan for surgery if he is able to have it. Today, he met with his PCP to update him on his current condition and medications. 


Next week he will have a stress test and meet with his heart doctor. This will determine if he can have the surgery. We will provide an update around that time. We are so grateful for you all!
