Family and
friends have established this fund in honor of Jeff
Hoeh, to commemorate the positive way he lived and
fought his many diseases. Jeff died at age 27,
after a 16-year battle with Cancer, Graves disease,
Shingles, and Polyradicular Neuropathy.
The
purpose of this fund is to reach out with hope and
caring to people who are suffering from Cancer or
other debilitating diseases. We have an all
day Golf Scramble
/ fundraiser in July each year in remembrance of
Jeff's birthday. Other
donations have come into the fund in memory of
people who have died, and we do send acknowledgement
to the families.
This fund is for
directly helping patients and families with
catastrophic diseases, to ease the financial burden
at home, or to put a little fun back into their
lives. We can’t change the circumstances, but we
can make some things a little better.
In addition, we also
have a dinner party at the Ronald McDonald House (a
home away from home for the families of critically
ill children) on Christmas Eve night for
all those who have the misfortune of being there.
We also help families in need with food, clothes or
toys for Christmas. For us, this is very rewarding
and healing, and it shows that Jeff is still
touching lives, just as he did when he was here with
us.
Many of the things we
do are a direct result of something that was done
for us while Jeff was sick. All we ever ask in
return is that, some day, it will be passed on to
someone else who is in need.
We assure you that
all money raised or donated is like the “Touch of an
Angel” in someone’s life. We wish everyone could
personally experience the joy and love that comes
when we are able to make a difference. Words cannot
describe it.
We sincerely “THANK”
all of our families, friends and loyal supporters. I
know God will bless all of you.
- Etta Hoeh
