In March, we asked for your support for a fourth-grade teacher at Immanuel Lutheran Church in East Dundee, Illinois, whose husband suffered a stroke. Thank you for your generous donations! The family's need is still great. Please read the following update from Pastor Bill Yonker. Chad came home from the hospital but is not able to walk, feed himself, or take care of his sanitary needs. His wife Shelly, our fourth-grade teacher at Immanuel, is having surgery and will not be able to lift over 5 lbs for the next 8 weeks. With school starting for Shelly in a month, this has added stress and strain not only on the caregiving but figuring out the logistics of Chad's continued care. Their children and parents have been so faithful in helping, but three of the four kids are going back to school soon and the fourth one lives out of state. Prayers and assistance are needed in this new chapter of their lives. God's blessings to you! Pastor Bill Yonker, Senior Pastor Immanuel Lutheran Church East Dundee, Illinois Please prayerfully consider donating to help the Pieper family in their time of need. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated and would go a long way in easing their burden. Let's come together to support this family in need. Posted: March 13, 2024 LCC received a request from Pastor Bill Yonker of Immanuel Lutheran Church and School in East Dundee, Illinois, to help support the school's 4th-grade teacher after her husband suffered a stroke. Recently, a tragedy happened to one of our school teachers and her family here at Immanuel Lutheran Church and School in East Dundee, Illinois. Chad Pieper, 49-year-old husband of our 4th grade teacher, Shelly Pieper, had a massive stroke while at a school basketball tournament in Peoria, Illinois. For the last three weeks, Shelly and Chad have been in Peoria at the hospital. Chad‘s recovery has been very slow-going to the point where they have not even been able to transport him back to our home area hospital. Shelly and Chad have four children. Their oldest son is out of college, their second son is in college, their daughter is a senior in high school getting ready to go to college, and their third son is an eighth grader at Immanuel. Twice, Chad has been admitted to the ICU in Peoria and continues to need advanced care for his recovery and rehabilitation. Immanuel, church, and school, as well as a neighboring church are seeking funds and assistance for Chad‘s hospital stay and future care. If you are able to contribute any support to past hospital bills or future rehabilitation and healthcare, the family and our church and school would be so grateful for the blessings you could give. Please prayerfully consider this request, and I also ask that you would offer prayers of comfort, peace, and future hope for the Pieper family. Yours in Jesus, Pastor Bill Yonker Immanuel Lutheran Church and School East Dundee, Illinois Comments are closed.
