An update from Sweet Relief Beneficiary John Langenstein

8/19/2025

In November 2024, Sweet Relief established the John Langenstein Fund after John suffered multiple seizures and two strokes, which left him hospitalized and unable to work. Although slow moving, his recovery showed promise and we were able to help cover medical bills, rent, and other vital living expenses as he focused on healing.

Now, in August 2025, John has been hospitalized once again—this time due to a heart attack and another stroke. He shared the following update

"There are no correct words to describe how appreciative and humbled I am for the enormous support from Sweet Relief and all of those who donated and helped my family and myself this past year.

I've been trying to put this update together for some time now, but wanted to share with you now what the life-changing events that have happened over the past year.

Since last July, I have been working on my recovery from the stroke I experienced. It took some time, but was still dealing with seizures which have lessened in time. But still, something was just not right as this year progressed.

Now we are in August of 2025. I just returned home last week from the hospital. I had a heart attack and another stroke six (6) minutes apart on August 1st. The doctors took hold and placed 3 stents in my heart. I'm lucky this stroke did not affect the part of the brain that would have been very debilitating. So now I am in recovery mode. Getting as much rest as I can and healing."
