Fenske Family Fundraiser with Essential Oils

It is with great pleasure that I am launching an Essential Oils fundraiser for the Fenske Family of Wisconsin. The Fenskes are an adoptive family to five super awesome kiddos, all of whom have varying degrees of medical needs. Their youngest, Miss "Noodle", has a life-threatening brain condition, called Hydrocephalus, where cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) is unable to drain from the brain. It then pools, causing a backup of fluid in the skull. If she doesn't receive the proper care she needs, it can lead to brain damage, a loss in mental and physical abilities, and even death.

Currently, they live one hour from the American Family Children's Hospital where Marissa can get the proper care she needs. She has seizures often, and sometimes it can become a life or death situation. So the time it takes to get her the care she needs is CRITICAL. To date, Marissa has undergone 64 surgeries. And every time she is in the hospital, her mom stays with her, but away from the rest of the family. As you can imagine, this has been extremely hard on the other kids who also need their mommy.

This fundraiser is to help "Move Them Closer To Their Hospital", and to help them move into a more accommodating home (for all the challenging needs of their family), closer to Madison, WI where they can give "Noodle" and the other munchkins the proper care they need at the American Family Children's Hospital.

I first met Shannon and Kevin in 2007/2008 when we started our adoption in Kyrgyzstan. Over the years I have had the privilege to spend time with them and really get to know them, and of course fall in love with their Littles. They are some of the most sacrificial and unconditionally loving parents that I have ever known.

I have created a Facebook event for our fundraiser, please join us!

If you are not on Facebook but still want to participate you can learn more about purchasing essential oils here. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, and please forward all order confirmations to me and let me know you're part of this fundraiser: scheeljes@yahoo.com

The Fenkses are some of my very favorite people and I am so honored to be able to provide this opportunity of support to them!
