On August 7th, our dear friend and loved one, Jeff Brasch, received the heartbreaking diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Schlerosis (ALS); also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. ALS is a fast moving and terminal illness that affects the nervous system, gradually taking away the ability to move, walk and eventually even breathe and speak without assistance. Jeff's journey toward this diagnosis began back in October 2024. Over the past year, he has endured countless doctor visits, endless tests and months of uncertainty and worry. When answers finally came from Froedtert in August, it was news no family ever wants to hear. Jeff and his wife have shared 38 wonderful years of marriage, raising two amazing sons and now enjoying everyday being grandparents to three little ones. Family means everything to Jeff and his greatest wish is to continue making memories with those he loves most. We're coming together to help Jeff stay comfortable and continue doing the things that bring him happiness and connection; whether that's spending time with family, sharing stories, or simply being surrounded by love.
All donations will go directly toward medical expenses, home modifications (like a wheelchair ramp), and the specialized equipment Jeff will need in the coming year.
Your support - whether through donations, prayers, or kind words - means the world to Jeff and his family. Together, we can remind him that he's not facing this journey alone.
