Support for Markus Reimer & Family
Dear Friends,
Thank you for taking the time to learn how you can support Markus, Anna, and their two kids during this important moment. Markus has always been a strong, hardworking individual who doesn’t shy away from challenges. For more than 25 years, he’s pushed through significant back pain without complaint, continuing to support his family and help others in countless ways. However, after a recent neck injury, the situation has escalated. To restore his mobility and eliminate the intense pain that has become unmanageable, Markus urgently needs surgery to replace 3 discs in his spine. The diagnosis is Degenerative Disc Disease with disc herniation causing stenosis of the spinal canal. Two are in his neck and one in his lower back.
This isn’t an easy request for Markus to make. He’s a doer, someone who has always relied on his determination and work ethic to overcome obstacles. But this time, the challenge is beyond what he can tackle on his own. The surgery, scheduled for January 9/2025, is critical to getting Markus back to the life he loves: working with his hands, supporting his family, and living pain-free. The procedure, which will be performed by a skilled surgeon in Germany, has a cost of 63,000.00 euros (approximately $85,000.00 CAD), with an additional two-week recovery period abroad, and 3 month recovery period at home.
Markus has always been the first to step in when others needed help - Now it’s our turn to step up for him. Every contribution, big or small, will go directly toward covering the costs of the surgery, ensuring Markus can move forward with this life-changing procedure.
Your support means more than words can express. By donating or sharing this message, you’re helping Markus get back to what he does best: living life to the fullest, serving others, and being the rock his family and community know him to be.
Markus, Anna, and the kids are deeply grateful for your generosity, prayers, and encouragement as they navigate this journey. Together, we can ensure Markus gets the care he needs to reclaim his strength, health, and future.
With heartfelt gratitude,

To everyone who has helped me get my life back,
I cannot thank everyone enough for your support and prayers for me. Truly, without you, this would not have been possible. After surgery I woke up without any nerve pain. Zero. It was overwhelming in a good way. Since then I have been sleeping, walking without pain. Pain I had thought would be there for the rest of my life. This is what normal feels like? One thing I realized quite profoundly is what my pain took from me and my family over the years without realizing it. You all helped me get it back. Hope and Joy are back. I am forever grateful and humbled by your generosity. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am home recovering because of you. I don't have proper words to express just how impactful this is. You gave me my life back.
Markus is Home! (Final Update)
January 30th, 2025
We’re celebrating that Markus & his family are back home, and his recovery is going well! Markus is incredibly grateful for everyone who has reached out, given, or prayed for him throughout this journey. He feels like he has a new lease on life—there’s even a new bounce in his step! (And fun fact: he’s an inch taller than when he left for Germany!) While full recovery will take some time, he’s making great progress and is looking forward to getting back to work and the things he loves.
A HUGE thank you for following along and supporting him! The donation page will remain open for a while as he continues working toward paying off the surgery.

I’m excited and thankful to report that the surgery went well and Markus is now in recovery! He has no never pain for the first time since he was a teenager!
He now has 3 months of recovery before he can return to work! Please pray for full recovery!
Please also consider sharing the link to raise funds to pray off the surgery while he is unable to work.
Thank you for all the generous donations!

Hello Everyone,
Thank you so much for your continued support and prayers for Markus and Anna during this time. They are incredibly humbled by the generosity shown through donations and encouragement.
Thanks to your help, they are now able to proceed with the travel and surgery. This week, they will head to Germany, where Markus is scheduled for surgery on January 9th. Please keep them in your prayers for safe travels, a successful surgery, and complete healing afterward.
Following the surgery, Markus will need three months of rest, recovery, and physiotherapy before he can return to work and his regular activities.
The fundraiser remains open to help cover the cost of the surgery, which has risen to over $90,000 CAD due to exchange rate changes. If you’re able, please consider sharing the fundraiser to help spread the word.
Thank you once again for your kindness, prayers, and support. We can’t wait to see Markus fully healed and back to doing the things he loves!
