Continual medical challenges have caused mounting financial struggles for the close-knit Lampe family. The same medical issues have also greatly affected the family’s earning ability. Although he has had to scale back on work considerably, due to numerous injuries, Jeff Lampe, 47, (suffering with a debilitating hernia and having no extra income for surgery), still manages to work as much as he can in his physically demanding tree service business.

Already struggling to deal with the loss of his left eye (from a work related injury), and partial loss of a finger, Mr. Lampe daily wraps duct tape around his hernia so he can continue to contribute to the family’s income. Daughter Angela, 3, has special needs. As a Down Syndrome child, there are many past and anticipated medical expenses associated with her care. Despite their medical and financial problems, the family continues to stay positive and hopeful, and is an inspiration to many. The Lampes stress the importance of education to their children and reinforce the message through example. Shelley Lampe, 43, works as a teacher in exchange for the children’s tuition. The older boys also work various jobs to contribute toward their tuition at St. Xavier High School, located in Louisville, Kentucky. They also help their father in the family tree service business after school and on weekends.
