38-year-old Beth Eble, formerly of Lansdale.
CJ’s Doghouse in Kulpsville will be hosting a fundraiser to help a Maryland family with local ties.
In January, 38-year-old Beth Eble, who grew up in Lansdale and attended St. Stanislaus along with her husband, was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital after experiencing chest pain, difficulty breathing and a lack of energy. She was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and was informed that she needed a heart transplant.
Fortunately, she received one after she was moved to the top of the list due to medicinal therapy being ineffective.
“Beth has a heart of gold,” said Beth Ann Magda, who grew up next door to Eble. “She has always been very active.”
In order to help with the cost of the medical bills, CJ’s Doghouse is hosting a fundraiser on Apr. 7 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. There will be food, raffle prizes from local businesses, a photo booth and cupcake decorating. All proceeds from the sale of beer and wine, as well as the raffle tickets, are being given to the Eble family to help with their bills.
“Beth is one of the strongest women I know,” said Brianne Crandell, Eble’s cousin. “She is always caring and loving towards others, and her faith is unlike most. She deserves to live the rest of her life with her husband and two other children with laughter and love.”
For those who would like to help out and are unable to attend the fundraiser, you can donate online via GoFundMe. If you would rather send a check, checks can be made payable to Michele Kraynak, and mailed to BethStrong, c/o Michele Kraynak, North Penn Art, 720 S Broad Street, Lansdale, PA 19446. If you are sending a check, it is asked that you put FBO Beth Eble on the memo line.
Aside from monetary donations, friends of the family are requesting continued thoughts and prayers as Eble continues to recover and get back to her active lifestyle.
“The family needs love, support, positive words and a laugh,” said Magda.
Eble’s diagnosis came a little over a year after the loss of her son, Malcom, to complications with the flu. After his death, Eble started #HaveKidsLetsTravel, a philanthropic effort to give back to every place the family travels to.
