Kuebler benefit

The Knights of Columbus, American Legion and VFW presented checks to the Gary Kuebler family. The three organizations held a fundraiser for their benefit during which the Sleepy Eye Honor Guard presented Gary with an American flag for his service to the country. Gary served in the National Guard for 28 years. He lost his kidney function after a tour of duty in Iraq. He has been on dialysis for over 6 years. The donation total is expected to exceed $15,000 as more contributions are being made to help the family. The Kueblers have donated a portion of the proceeds to Disabled American Veterans and the Wounded Warrior Project. Most importantly, several people are stepping forward to express interest in donating a kidney. More are needed as Gary has high antibodies that need to be matched. If you have blood type O (+ or -) and would like to more information on kidney donation, contact Dawn at the Iowa VA transplant center. Her number is 319-338-0581 ext. 4792. You can also reach the Kuebler family at kidneyforkuebler@gmail.com. The Kuebler family and all involved with the benefit would like to thank the community, businesses and organizations who made this such a success. Your kindness, generosity, thoughts and prayers will help provide the Kuebler family with strength for the journey. Pictured from left to right are Rick Mages, American Legion Commander; Ralph Grundmeyer, VFW Commander; Gary Kuebler, Jess Weisbrich and Ryan Braulick, Knights of Columbus Grand Knight.
