Help Hope Live for Jon Brumbaugh
Family and friends of Jon Brumbaugh are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with a Catastrophic Illness. Jon has chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because donations are tax deductible for contributors and will only be used to cover medical and related expenses.
My name is John Brumbaugh and I have ALS, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. It is a motor neuron disease that affects muscle movement, speech, and other bodily functions, and is incurable at present. Thank goodness my ALS progression is slow, but it affects my speech and ability to walk right now. I was diagnosed in May of 2024, and my ability to walk has gotten to the point that I need to use a wheelchair for any activity outside the house. I have been using a walker, but that is getting more difficult, and I will need to start using my power wheelchair around the house soon.

We have purchased a van! We found a 2015 Toyota Sienna with only 42,500 miles at a very reasonable rate. Thank you again for your support! We are grateful and blessed.Jon & Angie
