GoFundMe for the Orrick family
|
On the morning of January 3, Chris Orrick, husband to Julie, Trinity's Two Year Old Town teacher, suffered a stroke and was admitted to Springfield Memorial Hospital. The EMTs and staff worked fast to save his life. Since that time, he has undergone surgery and is making progress.
As parents of five children, Chris and his wife Julie have the normal struggles of keeping up with finances that a household that large requires. Chris's stroke has unfortunately placed them in a position where they are in need of your help! Anything you can offer to help the Orrick family with medical bills and to keep their household running is greatly appreciated! Access the GoFundMe link here.
