Rachel and Charlie
Mohning and family
On Wednesday, July 22,
2009, the Ireton Community hosted a benefit
dinner, bake sale and auction to assist
Rachel Mohning and her family with the costs
of her medical treatment and other expenses.
Thank you to everyone
who contributed in any way to the success of
the benefit -- we cannot name everyone
without risk of omitting someone so please
just know that every contribution of money,
auction items, baked goods, supplies,
equipment, time and talent
is greatly appreciated.
Rachel, the daughter of
Bob and Mary (Haarsma) Eisma, was born in
1978 and grew up on the family farm
northeast of Ireton. She attended the Ireton
Christian Reformed Church, Ireton Christian
School and Unity Christian High School
graduating in 1997. She married
Charlie Mohning of Marcus/Le Mars in 1998.
They are the parents of Austin, Alyssa,
April and Autumn. They live in Boyden
where the children attend Boyden-Hull
Community schools and the family belongs to
St. John Lutheran Church. Rachel works
at the hospital in Sheldon and Charlie is
employed by Eisma Express.
Rachel has been
diagnosed with Medullary Sponge Kidney
Disease in which cysts form in the kidneys
creating a sponge-like appearance.
Stones have been found in both kidneys and
her left kidney is functioning at only
10%-20% of normal. She has also been
diagnosed with pulmonary embolism and deep
vein thrombosis requiring blood thinners to
minimize clotting.
Additional Funding
provided by Sioux County Thrivent Financial
and Modern Woodmen of America.
