This is terrible news. He is an awesome human being.

Help Support Coach Bob Gergerich's Stroke Recovery

 

GoFundMe

 

Everyone knows him as Bob, Bobby, Gerg, Gergi, Jake and Big G. For over 40 years, Bob has dedicated his life to the sport of hockey—as a player, coach, trainer, and mentor. From youth leagues to professional development camps, he has helped shape the careers and lives of countless athletes across the country. His passion, commitment, and tireless energy have left a lasting impact on everyone lucky enough to learn from him.

 

Now, Coach Bob needs YOUR help.

 

On May 20th, Bob suffered a serious stroke that has dramatically altered his daily life. While he is stable and fighting with the same determination he brought to the rink, the road to recovery will be long and challenging. Doctors anticipate another month of inpatient rehabilitation and at least six months of outpatient rehabilitation, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and ongoing medical care.

 

Unfortunately, like many self-employed trainers and coaches, Bob’s income has been put on hold indefinitely. He is facing mounting medical bills and the everyday costs of living without a reliable source of financial support.

 

This fundraiser has been created to help ease that burden—so Bob can focus entirely on healing, without the stress of financial strain. Your generous donation will go directly toward:

 

• Medical expenses and therapy costs
• Home health support and rehabilitation equipment
• Daily living expenses during recovery
• Transportation to and from treatment

 

Coach Bob has spent decades giving back to the hockey community and beyond. Let’s rally around him the way he’s always shown up for others. Whether you can give $10 or $1,000, every contribution helps and is deeply appreciated.

 

Please share this campaign with your network, keep Bob in your prayers, and help us bring him the strength and support he needs to get back on his feet.

 

Let’s show Coach Bob that his hockey family stands strong with him. All donations made here will go directly to Bob to support his needs during this time. There is no set goal, anything you are able to contribute is deeply appreciated.

 

Bob has no idea this is being done, and would never ask for such donations, but as friends, we feel compelled to support him during his recovery.

 

Thank You and God Bless You,

 

Team Gergi

I don't personally know Coach Bob, but if you see fit to be able to help him in any way, please do so.
